Motivating Action

I'm convinced that houses become money pits

for the simple fact that one thing leads to another.

For example, we would love to replace our

wooden front door with a beautiful metal one.

We even spent hours picking one out...

But, if we added the metal door, we would also

need to upgrade our wall lanterns to bigger ones

that will match the new door. There are five
lanterns around the house.

So while we debated, our wooden door got

dried out and yucky.

This door looks so bad, all I can say is 

it was a loooong debate! 

 Well...we both wanted a metal one, but the price

was just too much.  Finally, Wild Bill taped

up the front door and sanded and stained it.

It's almost like a new door. We had the

tape, sandpaper and stain so the cost was

actually nothing except a few hours time.

What finally pushed him to get it done

you might ask? 

One day I causally mentioned that I

was thinking of painting the front door white.

That put him over the edge!

He's one of those dreaded "wood lovers" who

can't stand the idea of painting a good piece

of wood. Especially painting it white!

So, for all of you out there who also live

with procrastinators, you're welcome
for this tip because it really works!

Thanks for dropping by.
