Hot Tired and Happy!

Eee gads!  I just almost burned the pizza 

sitting here trying to think of 

some clever way to start this post!

Cleverness has signed off for the night, 

so I give you

the 

bare minimum...

I offer you a peek at the progress going on out at the house

while I am

dumpster diving for boxes

trolling liquor stores for boxes

whining at the grocery store for boxes

and groveling at the office supply store for boxes.

and making piles of very organized stuff

to put into the boxes...

what was I saying?

Oh yes, progress is being made

and craftsmen and craftswomen 

are as busy as bees...

Here's the finished fireplace!

Here are the Granite Guys 

installing the lovely granite!

I am blown away by the way it blends 

so well with the paint color and cabinets!

I was seriously sweating about that decision

but I am in luuuuurve with it!

Here is Zetta working her magic 

with the paint brush.

She is the fastest painter and does such a great job

we are so thankful to have gotten her name

and that she was able to help us get 

a second coat of paint on all of the woodwork!

There's a lot of woodwork to trim!

Don't you love her mask?

The oil base paint really bugs her

and she wears it all day.

arggh!

Here's the stone work at the bar downstairs.

I wish it didn't have a million doors in there

to clutter things up, 

but I was trying to get them out of everyone's way

during the marathon paint finale!

Here is my hero.

Helping everybody, making everything go along smoothly,

scheduling people, gathering supplies,

and working long hard days.

He and I are going to enjoy living in this house

Lord willing.

Oops, it's past my bedtime and I havn't eaten that pizza yet!

Thanking God for air conditioning again tonight!

Night everybody!
