Finishing Up

I have tried to invintory what is missing from our place. There was the obvious: 4 tires and rims, generator, Kamado smoker, air compressor, etc. But every time you go to look for something It is gone. Even the lightbulbs for the house are gone! All you can do is make a list and move on.

There are four and frequently five of us who are finishing up our home: Michael, Jackie, Bobby, Debbie and myself. We are finishing the painting, moving room to room. We have made our way from the back of the house to the front room, kitchen, and upstairs. The last step is to add a few coats of polyurathane to the floors. The stairway will be last. It will take a few days in itself.

We have seen much wildlife from our windows. Two deer eat in our yard almost daily. I have seen many great blue herons and other birds. There were otters swimming in our pond. The aligators and snakes must be hibernating so I have no worries for our little rat terrior.

We will be moving in as soon as the floors are done. Yahoo!
