If we thought life was ever busy, we didn’t actually know how busy it could get! We are frantically working on 117 every free moment. Officially we have 5 days to finish, but the people that are moving in have help this weekend, so want to start then. We won’t be done, yet, and we told them that, but also told them they are welcome to start moving in this weekend. Which means we must get the bedrooms, closets, cupboards and other places they will want to put stuff ready. We are bogged down on trim. It just takes so long to measure, fit, re-trim, re-fit, re-trim and put it in, especially with the saw out in the garage. I’m frustrated, because we are about out of things I can do. I finished the piece of vinyl in the laundry room last night by cutting pieces to fit and glueing them in. Today I’ll be cleaning our things out of the kitchen, cleaning up the appliances (again) and emptying all the paint out of the pantry. Dad is hoping to get off early today and we’ll work like crazy on trim in the bedrooms and living room. I’m also going to work more on emptying the garage today.  Anyway, as you can tell, there is a lot to do and not a lot of time to get it done.

Plus, we bought the commercial property yesterday, so that is ours to start working on. Yesterday we just took a good look at it again (since we’d only seen it once) and made some decisions on what will happen first, second, etc. and how exactly we will configure the bathroom/laundry/walk in closet. And by bathroom, I literally mean “bath” room, because the toilet and sink are in another 1/2 bath, so this will only have the tub/shower, as well as our hanger clothes and the laundry. Anyway, there is a lot we could do on that place, but we need to keep focused on the other until it is done.

Also, for those of you who care, we finally wrote out our wills, had them notarized, rented a safety deposit box at First National Bank, and put them in it. We’ll be putting other things in there, too, as time goes on, and when you are around, we’ll update the paperwork so a couple of you also can have access to it when you eventually need the papers.
