Hi there - welcome to our heaven and haven. I have never blogged before and have to figure it out, so please be patient.
We are still working away on the house and preparing for the visit from the codes folks to pass and get our certificate of occupancy on the addition...then it is on to our appraisal. This week we have had the underpinning finished, Jeff has put in the railing around the back deck and is installing the attic vent. He still has to finish the hand rails on the steps out back. I painted the pantry a dark wine/red color. I have to finish a little trim and then put in the flooring.
Taking some time out to finish the first of the first crocheted valance for the kitchen window. I am also planning to bake some gluten-free peanut butter cookies as well as chocolate chips for the staff - also got raw veggies and dip and gluten-free crackers. Like to give them a treat each week, if I can. One staff member has celiac, so try to find gluten-free stuff to have as well.
Things here are busy and we are tired, but I just have to work on my veggie plants or check the woods around me and I get refreshed and know that the work now is because this is our "forever" home now and we are working to make it comfortable. The plants all love it here so much better - can only figure it is because they are really in farm country and feel they belong! Weather is not so hot or humid and they seem to thrive.
After the back rooms are finished and the baseboards in, we can move the furniture in and start using them. It will make things more comfortable. I look forward to putting my studio together after the bedroom is finished. Once the bedroom is moved into its new location, we can pull up the carpet in the former bedroom, paint the one plaster wall and put in the new flooring. We can move in the furniture into the studio and I can begin to sort out all of my stash and equipment. Then I can get back to scrapping! Yippee!! So much to scrap.
Still have to plan trip to take Drew to college the first of September. He is busy working in AZ for the summer and I know he misses his friends.
Off to do some baking....
Be blessed,
Kim
