I haven’t posted a good sky shot in a while- I’m so grateful to see some some sunsets for a change! The last week of weather renewed our spirit, and spring seems finally within reach.
got your attention, didn’t I?! yes, we’ve moved, but it’s not into the house. The fifth wheel has relocated to the driveway area (along with the two utility trailers, gigantic storage box, our 3 cars and all of the crew’s vehicles- oh and the porta potty). The benefits- much less mud now that we’re on blacktop and everything is a closer walk- cars, house and refrigerator. It’s literally one step closer to moving in to the real thing.
It was a fun week– the pace is picking up. The house is completely sided, except for the chimney (remember that budget thing? I had to forgo rock on the chimney- I hope it’s a someday thing). The interior drywall texture was started on Saturday, so we have a couple more days for that “imperfect smooth” hand finish.
And a large “ground-breaking” on the exterior landscape; the pool was dug on Saturday! That crew was in and out in less than 5 hours- amazing! Even my son admitted they put his tractor driving skills to shame. And then, of course, it rained and hailed so hard over the last night and day that part of the pool wall already caved in. yikes!
Over this next couple of weeks, things like cabinets will go in. The window trim and baseboards. They will prime and paint the interior once the texture is dry. The tile will be started in the bathrooms and they’ll be prepping the floors for the wood and carpet.
My Sunday sanding workout gear- when it’s super cold out!
Update on beams- almost done sanding! Just have the bottom parts left, which are the hardest- of course I saved that till last. ;(
