Pics of the House and Surprises

Well, although it wasn't entirely unexpected, this is what we walked into this morning on our way to church. We cannot get this roof put on any too quickly for me. Looks like it will be Saturday with the help of many friends.


Buckets collecting rain water dripping into the unfinished garage/den. We plan to work on this room after we get moved in. We knew it leaked and were desperately hoping to get the roof on before the first rain. Thankfully, this is the only place in the house that leaks.
In other news, the tile job is moving along nicely. A friend, who is also a professional tile layer, is doing the work and showing me how it's done. A little OJT.

Kitchen floor
There is still a lot of work to do. Here are some examples.




Roof is terribly deteriorated. I can't believe anyone lived in this house in the last two years. It makes me wonder how long it's been since anyone lived there.
Sorry to have bored you all with all this stuff, but this is so excited and stressful at the same time for both of us. Take care and keep on blogging, people.

Trying times, indeed. With patience, it will be "Home, Sweet Home"! Best of luck. I'm impressed with all you've done already.

I'm learning a lot already. In fact, I'd like to do another tile job just so I don't forget how. No time.

Just tackle one thing at a time. The floors are looking really nice. I like your fireplace.

I'm so excited about using the fireplace. Carpet should come in seven to ten days, then we can finally move in and unpack after three months.

I wish I could be there to help out. Keep at it!

It will be lovely when you get done and you will appreciate it more because
you did it yourself.

Thanks, Jeri. You'll have to come and see it and when it's all done.

Hang in there--it will all come together!

Here's to hoping it does!
