Weekend update
Before I get to the update, I want to thank you all for the words of encouragement. I have, more than once, just wanted to put my head in my hands and cry at all the stuff to be done. But, I don't cry much and you all helped me to keep plugging on.
Let's see. Had some of the folks from Vine and Branches come over on Saturday morning to help. My deepest thanks go out to them. Good thing it was raining or they might not be speaking to me today. Tim, my brother in law came and we got the tile down it 2 bathrooms and cut for the third. You can't do with out a potty so I will finish the third one soon. I am going to meet him this morning in about 45 minutes to get a T molding that will transition between the tile in the kitchen and wood in the living room. We got a pre-made molding down at the entrance of the half bath and it looks really nice. I didn't realize just how good a finished edge would look. Tim is wonderful with wood, he is making this molding for me from raw wood. It is amazing the things he does. He is going to add a larger Master bedroom onto their house and he is building the oak beams in his shop now. I got to see a lot of them. Truly amazing. He is pegging all of them, not using screws and nails and such.
The sad thing is that I wish we had gotten more done. There is still so much mess that it would have been too hard to get to much more. But stuff got done and it is slowly but surely coming together. I plan on grouting the bathrooms today and getting two potties going so I can adhere the tile in the half bath. I need to get that done by tomorrow evening, since people are coming over and they will need to use it.
I am bruised and tired and I have a weeks worth of vacation coming up soon. I am looking forward to that. Please continue to pray for patience and favor. And for my family, they catch the brunt of my witchyness when things aren't going my way. I promise pictures when I can or you can go check out Alan's blog, he knows how to post them and does regularly.
