Gloves and My Shop Vac are My Friends

Well it's here.

We did take pictures so I will upload them when I can. It will be painfully clear that theses are "before pictures."

It is going to be a miracle if we get this thing in order before August 1st. We spent today just removing stuff. We're not done. Keep in mind the previous owners had spent a week clearing it out, they even had a group of friends over to help out.

I'm a little dumbstruck.

I believe I was busy picking out rugs and spice racks not so long ago. That's cute.

My dad has a theory, (hey, so do Phil and Bretta :) my dad has many theories but the one I am referring to is the loose thread theory. When you start digging into things you find more and more things to address. Wow, now I have my own real live model for this theory.

There are some really great things about the rig and the layout and the possibilities but right now I'm exhausted and a little queasy from today's work. Old people who are getting sick aren't the most prudent housekeepers.

Robb, love him, is still out there. I peeked my head out to see if he wanted some dinner to find him polishing wheels. He said he needed something to look better than it did when we started, then he can feel accomplished.

  1. Dear Sis-
    Everything you both do turns out great! Dont sweat the small stuff- it will come together. Pretty soon you will mask the floor with your cute rugs and it will all seem to 'disappear' and life will be grand! Wish I was in your shoes!
    CANT wait to see pics! Load them up baby!!!

  2. Sorry I'm not there to help you, (not really). It sounds like a huge job, but I agree with Beth Ann,"it will come together.
