Almost Done!!!

Okay...got started on the basement on Friday. It sucked. Only because before we could put the color paint on, we had to put a waterproof paint on under it. This waterproof paint is really thick and gritty. It was very difficult for me to use the roller. I got started by just painting the mortar lines. I actually did the whole basement in the mortar lines. But that was a lot of bending and so by the time the walls were ready to use the roller to apply to the rest of the wall, I was too tired and sore.

Mom, Grandma and I worked hard on Saturday. That's mostly when I did most of the mortar lines. On Sunday we got that all finished and were able to start painting the color. Unfortunately the basement was moist and so the paint was drying as fast as it did upstairs. And on the bottom two rows, it is moist enough to not even dry and the paint has run. So, that is something we are just going to have to take care of while we live there.

Josh and his brother Jared finished up the hard inside work on Tuesday. Josh is having family and friends come help this coming Sunday on the yard. Otherwise, we are ready to start doing the fun decorating.

I'm officially moving in Friday, June 19th. 2 weeks later than I really wanted, but I'm dealing with it.

The best thing I can say right now is that I've had a chance to rest and now my back is basically better. It could take a turn if I'm not careful. But now that the really hard work is done I should be fine. I just will have to pack the boxes, then ask someone to lift them for me.
