Wow…

Friday Sept 29th –

 

After a rude awaking from the husband to start the day off right, (wrong 😒) he and I headed over to our house to begin a day of the large and small tasks that lead us ever closer to completion.

Some days I go there and I’m like, ‘wow it’s so close to being done actually!’ and other days, I look around and think ‘wow… so much still has to be done…’ 😜

 

And I haven’t even hardly done any of it 🙈💁🏻

We built the second dresser for our bedroom and Mike got that squished into place before starting the preparations for the bedroom for flooring.

 

I went to work washing out more window sills and then a painting station was set up so that I could start turning our trim, grey.

 

Mike found us a second hand bed frame from the habitat store, so I also sanded that to have it ready to paint, when I was.

Mike got most of the master bedroom floored and then we ran out of flooring so we headed home for supper.

The bro who was in town, was a champ and picked us up the remaining boxes we would need to finish upstairs the next day.

Fixings And Findings

Monday May 22nd –

Michiel was off to work with some friends for the next couple of days and Mom and I had yard stuff to do.

She more than I, since I got the cushy job of lawn mowing while she began the branch and leaf hauling 😬

I worked on that until three in the afternoon but once Mom gets going she doesn’t come to a stop very quickly, so she went on for a few more hours.
We’d stopped for gnocchi leftovers for a few minutes somewhere in there until finally and happily we had each ended our tasks and were able to rid ourselves of layers of dirt, grime and bugs 😖

My flip flops had like, a half inch of those sticky things from the trees, layered on the bottom of them, so I got to scrape those off and if ever you have to clean those off your shoe soles, I recommend spreading coconut oil on them and then letting them sit in the sun for a few minutes.

Worked like a charm… but doesn’t coconut oil help everything? 😜

Wraps made up our supper and as our day came to a finish we sipped our coffees and made note of what a beautiful day it had been👌🏻☀️🌿

Later in the evening, popcorn was made and a short movie watched from the comfort and cool of the basement and its ultra comfy couch 😉 Continue reading “Fixings And Findings”
