The first 2 pics are of our beautiful new flooring. The third picture is of our new kitchen table. The next row has our cleaned up yard (complete with growing grass!) and some things found in the yard.

enjoy!

We painted yesterday. It took much longer than we were expecting. We’re not even finished yet. We will be able to finish most of it by tomorrow. My parents came out to help. Without them, we never would have gotten so much finished. It looks really nice. Most of the house is painted with a light color called “baked brie”. It doesn’t really look like cheese. 2 walls in the master bedroom are painted a very dark blue-green. It looks great! Amelia did a phenominal job with all the edging, and I hope her hand feels better soon. Her nephew Andy also helped. He did a great job.

In fact, the only person who didn’t do a great job was me! It turns out that house painting is not a skill I have. At least there was plenty else to do at the house. I put together our new grill, and got started with the elliptical that I bought Amelia for her birthday. We also got a trash compactor delivered and set up. There was plenty of cleaning to do too. I spent some time working on the lawn also. We seeded, fertilized, and watered. We also did 2 loads of laundry.

Tonight, we will hopefully finish the painting. Tomorrow, the new flooring gets installed. It will really make the house look different. We’re pretty excited. Thursday is duct/carpet cleaning… We are coming down the home stretch. I just hope we can find time to pack the apartment!
