Progress

We are making some, progress that is. But move-in day is coming up faster than we are moving. It seemed like the whole famdamily was on site today painting and thank goodness Mark connected us with Bob the painter a couple of weeks ago who blasted through a bunch of space in no time. All we have to do, (I don't mean all as in not much, rather as in what's left) is to paint all the areas that were moved/changed/patched. And the trim! The baseboards all got taken off to change the floors; painting trim isn't urgent and it is tedious so it ends to get shuffled off for way too long. Barb to the rescue again.
Jamie and Betsy painting. Talking?

It's the summer long weekend, BC Day here, but our faithful Don showed up yesterday and today to repair and sand drywall so we have something to paint. The utility room is a priority because the washer/dryer is being delivered on Tuesday and the office is up the list because the computers are already set up and need to be dust free-ish. And so it goes.

the new garden, 100th the size of the old...

love the way the fireplace is coming together

The kitchen and our bathroom will end up last and it doesn't matter because we have a suite downstairs with a small kitchen if we decide to move in and in the meantime we are comfy at Barb's and she is still tolerating us pretty well.
In honour of BC Day we had a picnic supper tonight and it was perfect.

It was a good day!
