House Update

Since I really haven't written much this week, I thought I would at least give my faithful readers a quick update. Last week, my dad and a couple of our friends from his church came out to help me work on the house. I was surprised at how much work the guys managed to finish. My front fireplace room is really the only major room left to finish in the house, and they got it framed, wired, insulated, and ready for drywall. In fact they, accomplished that so quickly that they even had two and half days to help me with other odd and end projects. While they were working on framing, I removed the rust from the fireplace and painted it. All in all a great week of work.

Today, I have a crew of guys coming to hang drywall. I'm hoping it will be ready to paint by this weekend. Then all that remains to finish is a little bit of trim and carpet. Hopefully, I will be completely finished with this room in less than three weeks (considering I really only work on the weekends.) After the fireplace room is completed, I have some touch up paint to do in the rest of the house, and some landscaping to do outside before everything is completed. I am hoping to have the house ready to go on the market July 1st. I'm not sure if I will actually list it at that time, but it will just be nice to have it ready if I decide to move this fall.

While the guys were working on the house, Georgia watched Abigail. Abigail, loved having attention all the time. Since Dad, Darrell and Georgia left yesterday, Abigail is going through Georgia withdraw and missing her Grandpa. Yesterday was a little rough at work, as Abigail had to relearn how to entertain herself while I was working.

Here are a few not so great pictures.
