The Farmhouse

And the work goes on now into the third month. We've displaced family; we've scraped and sanded and painted and primed. And my father-in-law told me the last 10% will seem the longest. It is. It is.

But, bit by bit, we move closer to moving in. In fact, we're hoping to do just that this coming weekend. It is time - if for no other reason - to give Joe and Lisa their home back.

A wood-worker in the church came by yesterday and finished up the book shelves he had built for our bedroom. Fine work he has done for us ...

And Joe and Lisa worked their tails off on Sunday to put up laminated covering for the bathroom walls. The bathroom and kitchen now stand as the two rooms that await our attention. We are going to spray paint the blue and beige tiles that are at the base of the bathroom. And, tonight, we discussed what to do with the bathroom floor.


This is just a fun picture of a plant I picked up at Lowe's in Owensboro. Actually, I got two: one for Wyatt's room (pictured here) and one for our room. Turned out to be a really good score. Anna says these plants are great at nullify toxins in the air.


And ... the kitchen ... which we have begun to paint and prime and seal off. Friday, I'm hoping to use a spray painter to cover the ceiling in B-I-N's. That will be an adventure.


Feel free to check the album again to see the progress in the rooms.
