Days 2 and 3 of House Work

Yesterday was my 2nd day being able to work on the house. I was by myself and I can only reach so much not being able to get on a ladder or get down on the floor. I was able to do the final coats of paint on the living room walls and clean out the drawers in the kitchen. They were horrible! One of the drawers looked like they had just thrown a lot of candy canes in and let them melt. It was gross. So those are cleaned out (again the ones I could reach) and have tacky paper on the bottom of them.

Also the Cilco guy had to come back because my electric meter is in the basement.

Today was much more productive. Mom was there to help me. She was doing the trim where I did the walls themselves. She finished the trim in the living rooms while I painted my bedroom. Wait till you guys see the colors I picked out in there! Can't wait to post the BEFORE and AFTER pictures!

My Uncle Neil, Aunt Melissa, Regan and Quinn came to check out the house. When we got into the kitchen after showing them the living room, my room, and telling about what we are doing with Josh's room Regan asked me, "Is every room going to have 2 colors?" And the answer to that is pretty much, yep.

The living room, hallway, and two bedrooms are all hardwood floors. It was not our intention to have them refinished only because of money and time. However, my aunt and uncle offered to have them done as our housewarming gift which is SOOOOO NICE! (If you are reading this THANK YOU AGAIN!) That will start on Thursday and be finished on Saturday. This won't delay us at all because we will be done with the areas that they will be refinishing. So, everything worked out nicely.

Tomorrow Josh gets to start helping as it's the beginning of his weekend. My aunt Melissa and friend Rose (Ruth) are going to come help as well.

Josh wrote me this evening and asked, "Your place or mine?" for tonight. Then added, "Pretty soon we won't have to have this conversation anymore." That is so AWESOME!

I told him that my feet were so sore and that I hoped that he wasn't planning on taking me dancing tonight (HUGE joke). He said no dancing, he figures I'll be asleep by 10:30. I will be getting there at 10:15. He is probably very close. Although he WILL BE giving me a foot rub!

So, I think that's the update for now. Can't wait to be done so that I can enjoy the house!
