Yesterday was Great!

Wow! Yesterday went incredibly smoothly. Amazing. My adorable nephew was a dream (except for the car rides). He was so adorable running around the house chasing a soft ball. He was incredibly coordinated for a one year old and should be put into soccer as soon as possible.

The house is coming along nicely. The foam insulators are finishing up today and the drywall should be started on Friday. We have 4 weeks to go people and the house will hopefully be done by the end of September. Here's hoping.

Today is another run around day which Truth be told, I am NOT super excited about. I really need to stay home and mop, do laundry, clean bathrooms, make bread, and finish my book. Oh well. My new house has new ever pressing needs as well. I feel a bit torn lately. The house we are currently living in is falling into disrepair. I am rarely home of late and the new house NEEDS to be finished so we can move on with our lives. Slow and steady wins the race, right? We shall see. At this rate we will win a medal for the "slow and steady part".

Packing is another task I have been putting off. Sheer exhaustion and dread have been the culprits for this particular delay. There just isn't enough time and energy to go around right now.

So as it stands, we have these things left to do on the house.
1. Get an insulation inspection
2. Hang, tape and texture drywall
3. Lay roof tiles
4.Have stucco done on exterior
5.Place insulation on porch ceiling
6. Place tongue and groove under porches on front and back
7. Have plumbing fixtures installed inside and outside
8. Have interior painted
9. Have cabinets and counter tops installed
10. Buy toilets and install them
11. Have tile and carpet installed
12. Have closet organizers installed and painted
13.Fill in existing trenches
14. move dirt around
15. Install horse fencing to keep the animals in
16. Paint all doors and trim
17. Install lighting fixtures inside and out.
18.Install door knobs and locks everywhere
19.Buy and install a water heater
(Not done in that particular order)
