Long Day
We managed to put in a full twelve hours at the house today. Tomorrow we'll finish pulling carpet tacking out of Em's floor, get carpet out of Leirin's room and the library, touch up and lay floor. If we stay on schedule we should be ready to move this weekend.
I was painting the music room this afternoon. One of the doors is out of square and there is a gap between the corner of the trim and the wall. If you get enough light through that gap you can see the original beadboard walls that remain behind the sheetrock. Add this to the fact that under that staple on ceiling tile is lovely tongue and groove pine ceilings, you have the makings for a major overhaul sometime down the line. At the moment though, all I'm interested in is getting moved in. I'll get that big remodel itch soon enough. For now it's all about the moving. And the party that we're having once we move in.
During our last rest out on the porch at sunset the kids decided to walk down the drive. They'd walk to the road, back up to the house, circle around the back yard and head down the drive way again. They must have walked 2 miles by the time they were done. Doug and I stayed behind on the front porch to enjoy the ever present breeze and the colors of the evening sky. We heard the tree frogs and crickets wake for the evening and watched as the first stars started twinkling in the sky and he said "I'm so glad you decided to come and look at this house."
So am I. We're so close now.
