We are really making big strides on the house, and it's hard to believe that the whirlwind of construction we have been in for over a year is pretty much over. We have a couple few places left to touch up/paint in the house...hopefully we'll finish that this weekend. Paul put in our front door this week. Can I just tell you how nice it is to have a door that fits and closes and doesn't have a constant breeze blowing through it? That was actually kind of bittersweet because other than hanging the shutters after I finish painting the outside of the house, Paul is done. It is going to be sad not having him here nearly every day. I know the kids are really going to miss their 3rd grandpa.
I got one coat painted on the porch before I started feeling pukey, and then yesterday was kind of a wash, so I'm going to hit it hard today, and hopefully get the whole front of the house painted with 2 coats, so tomorrow I can do the side and start the back, but we'll see.
Bryan has been working all week on cleaning out the outbuildings. He has made several dump runs, and I am just amazed how much room there is in this yard as it is slowly starting to empty out. We are going to have a big garage sale the week after Easter, so for all your army surplus buffs...get ready...it's gonna be big!
Our cute neighbor that is leaving on a mission soon has been helping us get the sprinkling system ready. We never expected him to come over, especially when we found out they were leaving, but every day, he's been coming over working on it. He's just an angel, and I am REALLY going to miss them.
His family will all be in town Easter weekend for their talks in Church, so we are going to have a little get together for them, and probably the first weekend in May we'll do the open house for everyone to come (Bryan wants a little extra time to ge the yard looking presentable again). I don't know why I'm so excited for this...maybe because directly, and indirectly, so many people have helped, and I want to just show them the finished product so they can know how grateful we are. In any event...I can't hardly wait! :)
