Biggest home expansion project since opening in 1992

 

Biggest home expansion project since opening in 1992, similar to Walt Disney World’s Fantasyland expansion in 2012.

In the midst of travel and long, long days, we managed our biggest homeowner expansion investment in two decades.

An in-ground pool and complete landscape makeover/expansion.

Cheryl says we may stay here this Summer instead of going to Sanibel Island like we always do.

Insight: Good things happen to those that wait, and work hard, and live simply. I still have never owned a new car. I’m 54.

Hold on, please, just hold on

Notes on Walt Disney World stationary

One small email, one small change, can have massive ripple effects

 

Hold on, please, just hold on. This is what we can whisper (or shout if necessary) to ourselves when our in-box overwhelms us.

Is the long way the short cut?

Florida Sand Hill Cranes in homeowner yard

Florida Sand Hill Cranes are not a normal part of front yard landscapes

 

Is the long way the short cut? Only time will tell.

Who’s got time for that?

Not many.

In fact, no time left this morning to post new landscape photos… hopefully tomorrow.

Is it possible to bring world class to anything your heart desires?

PLM is a great Central Florida Landscape Company

Is it possible to have a landscape like Disney World’s?

 

Is it possible to bring world class to anything your heart desires?

Not a trick question. Think about it and we’ll talk about it some more tomorrow.

Is one year an acceptable amount of time to finish a project?

Florida homeowner landscape makeover

A “before” photo

 

Is one year an acceptable amount of time to finish a project? Ever have a project seem to take forever? What keeps it going? What filters do we use to juggle when to focus and when to not?

Filled our new pool with water June 1, 2012.

Likely to finish the landscaping project today, which began two weeks ago, 10 months after the pool was filled.

The point? Better late than never. Right?

Let’s do one thing today that seems insignificant

Buildings with zero landscaping

The designer(s) designed with zero landscaping

 

Let’s do one thing today that seems insignificant. Throw something away, or recycle or donate it.

One thing is insignificant. But as we collect stuff over time, it becomes significant.

Let’s get rid of it in similar fashion (assuming we can’t do it all at once).

Oprah, quick question

Oprah magazine about decluttering

De-Cluttering our life is worth it’s weight in gold

 

Oprah, quick question. Have you de-cluttered enough to find time to exercise?

Work life balance, done well, speaks for itself, with or without a world class television show (or magazine).

Wow, that last jungle jeff post seemed hypocritical

Lahti, Finland's world famous ski jump ramps (Summer 2009)

Lahti, Finland’s world famous ski jump ramps (Summer 2009)

 

Wow, that last jungle jeff post seemed hypocritical. What happened to the promise of short and pithy?

Well, the promise’s fine print reads “mostly short and pithy”, not always short and pithy.

Anyone else marvel at the volume and consistency of the blogging taking place at Mid Life Celebration?

Note: Today’s jungle jeff post photo was from the top of the left ski jump.
