It has been some time since I have had a chance to sit down in front of the computer and actually catch up on e-mail and news. I have 80 e-mails!
We, as you know, have been remodeling and yesterday we completed the upstairs. Well not completely. I have three pieces of trim to go around the window seat in the office and, of course, the carpet is not yet installed. The trim I will do today. The carpet will be done by professionals. So we are through.
Wait a minute. Blinds. I have to get them up. So trim and six blinds and were done. Oh yeah and paint the office door. That’s it. Well, I do have to put a door on the upstairs hall closet. And, of course, we haven’t even started on the upstairs bathroom, that’s next winters project.
On Tuesday the gas company came and ran a line for the new kitchen range. We now sit and wait for the county inspector to come, who knows when, and inspect the work. Then the gas company will come back and connect the range. Until then it is sandwiches and eating out.
We had hoped to get everything done before April 13. That’s when Bente’s big brother and his wife, from Denmark, arrive for a short, 46 day visit. We figured out last week that we were not going to make the deadline. So we took the weekend off to enjoy a little rest and relaxation. Sunday was Easter and we spend the day with my little sister and her family. It was a very nice day and had a great time visiting with them. The only thing that would have made it nicer is if my two brothers had been there.
So I see light……do you hear a noise? Is that a train?

Can't believe we're almost done. It's been a long road. I'm very proud of all the work you done. After 40+ years behind a desk who knew you were that good at home improvement work. Hope you will not regret doing all that good work, I might have many more projects for you to do.
You should be proud of yourself. Your place looks really nice.
