Link to Photos

I'm going to France for inspiration. Strangely enough I've already had a lot of views of my original post, so I decided to post the photo album of the house for you all to take a look at while I'm gone.

In September, barring unforeseen obstacles, you'll get the story behind the photos.

The Cabella House

I only wear Prada shoes. Its true. I have a pair of Nike's for the gym, some slippers for the house, and my German Hiking boots, but all others are Prada.

In the last month most of my hair has fallen out and I've lost considerable weight and I cant get more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep. Don't know why. Cant be stress, I've had all of August off.

So the question is, why have I, an insomniac, Prada wearing 32 year old Black woman whose hair is falling out spent her vacation dismantling the shower, re-installing it and sealing it; dismantling the bathroom double sink, re-installing and sealing it; digging out the gout in the shower and re-grouting it; re-wiring all the principle lights (as in attaching the correct light to the correct switch); taking down, sanding down and repainting walnut wood doors?

Why am I doing these things less than 6 months after I paid grown men whose job it is to do these things 35,000 Euro to them? WHY!? Because the world is filled with incompetent people who do their jobs for the money and not for the satisfaction it gives them.

This is the story of my journey from then to now.

This is an outlet to help me digest all of my bitter feelings post reconstrucion in Italy and finally enjoy my home.

If you are planning on embarking on, in the process of doing, or looking back on the but kicking contruction gave you in Italy, you may need this blog just as much as I do.

And so the story begins. From start to finish.
