They are finally putting the asphalt on the road kind of in front of our house – actually a little to the west. It has been gravel since about a year ago. It wasn’t a lot of gravel, but just enough to be annoying. And enough that there was tons of gravel in our front yard after the winter. So I’m really glad that gravel won’t be pushed into our yard in the coming winter.

We got everything ready for the hooking up of the furnace to be completed. I’m not sure if they were there today or not. Everything looks like we left it, so maybe not. It still isn’t so cold that it is a problem, but it won’t be long before we will need some more heat over there. We got the oil furnace fixed up, but oil is really a lot more expensive than natural gas. Oh, well. It was what was there. We will have to seriously think about putting the wood stove over there. There is already a hole in the roof, because the last people had one.

The bathroom is getting close to done. It just needs the inspector to look at the wiring, then the last sheet of sheet rock can be hung and it can all be mudded, taped and sanded. Then, of course, the fun of plumbing it all, which will be a project, I would guess. I’ll be glad to have a toilet over there again. It isn’t far to run home, but when it is raining, I would just as soon not have to!

I’ve been studying 2 hours every day for my personal trainer test. The more I study, the more it seems I should know. There are only 150 questions and I know about 2000 questions worth of stuff, but it probably isn’t all the right stuff! So I keep cramming stuff in my head. Only 17 more days to study.
