Yesterday was a huge step – Dad’s last day of work at Marshfield Clinic. He had been cleaning out his office for the past several weeks, so he didn’t have much to bring home yesterday. He was there late, though, finishing up everything so it is ready for his replacement, whenever they get around to hiring him/her.
So today we are in finishing up here mode. First we showed someone the travel trailer – we’d advertised it on Craig’s List. He didn’t want to give what we were asking, so I was on the phone with the next person on the list who was interested, and he changed his mind and decided it was worth the extra $300 not to have to run all over the state trying to find one as nice for less $$. So, once we get it turned over to him tomorrow, we will have $2,500 to use for starting the remodeling in Bristol. We have a bit more in savings, but most of it has been used up by this and that. We have bought a lot of the supplies already, though.
Then we got going on projects here. Dad put the trim up around the “new” front door (new, last summer, that is!) Meanwhile I finished up painting the doors for the pantry, so when they were dry, we could put that together. See the pictures below. (It still needs cabinet pulls – we lost the ones we bought.) Then we replaced ceiling tiles in the main living area. We didn’t have enough to finish, but now we know exactly how many more to purchase. We are going out for prime rib in Bloomer tonight as a celebration for Don’s great job at Marshfield Clinic.
