Good News

Good news. We got our appraisal we wanted. More that what I thought it would be. I guess all of our work this weekend paid off. Now hopefully we will be able to be warm in cozy in our house this winter with new windows and a furnace.

Blown vacation time. We worked on the house for 5 days straight. The appraiser is coming today so hopefully we get the appraisal we want since we worked so darn hard. I feel sorry for the kids. We were so busy they had to entertain themselves. I hope all the hard work and sacrifice is worth it.

The entryway is totally done. the bath downstairs is totally done. The bath upstairs needs the medicine chest put in and the linen closet built. Otherwise trim and baseboards are up and painted. I am posting pix for everyone to see the great progress. Also pix of my beautiful rose bush.

T-minus

We have to kick it in gear and finish a few things in the house before the aprasier comes over. Granted a few things will not be done but some thing that are visibly just not put together we have to do. I wanted to make sure it looks great so we have the best result for what we have. I will post pix of our updates.
