A Peak of Light is at the End of the LONG Tunnel..... :)




Lance has been working .... SOOOOO hard on our house. We have both been getting sooo anxious to have this project complete. I know he's tired of coming home to a house that's under construction and the feeling that he has to work on something after working all day. I know for me.. I feel like there's not much I can do to help.. and I don't want to be rushing him to get things done.. but I really want life back to somewhat normal.. and I can have a clean house once again. Is that too much to ask? He has got the painting done in the front room. It just needs one more coat. And he's going to paint up the hall and down too with the same color.. the same color will be in the kitchen. Just seemed easier that way to do it.. plus the cabinets and everything will cover up the space so you won't see much of the paint anyways. Lance's dad came over this past weekend to help Lance with the electrical in the kitchen and Sunday they got one wall of the new drywall put up.. they are going to finish the other part on Wednesday. This weekend.. we are hoping that our friend will be able to help with the door. We have to replace the back door because of rotting that got covered up by the previous owner. At this pt. I could care less about the cabinets.. although I'm excited to see the finished project but I really just want my floor the most.. :) Laminate flooring... yay!

....Under Construction....


Well for those of you wondering how the construction is going... it's going.... just not as fast as Lance and I hoped for. The front room/dining room is almost ready for flooring. Lance painted the ceiling last night.. it need one more coat. The sanding of the spackle on the new dry wall is done.. looks like it might need another coat too.. then just priming and painting.. and that room will be ready for floor.
Our kitchen is needed a new door.. and we are going to take the old door out and put a new one in with a window... there was a hole in the floor that was just covered up by previous buyers.. so we have to fix that.. because water was getting in and rotting away our door and the flooring. The kitchen also needs two new walls.. and all painted then we can get flooring done in there.. then it will be just a matter of getting the cabinets put up. Still a long way from being done. I know God is teaching me patience. And I'm trying to pray for opportunities to be patient but it's soo hard sometimes. I'm having a hard time living in this "construction" zone! It's making me crazy!
