getting the crew together

There is now a crew of three additional set of hands coming to help us paint and de-popcorn the house. Since this weekend is extended with Labor Day, David and I are hoping to have all the painting and de-popcorning completed by Monday evening. I hope this plan will work out well, because I would love to have another set of projects done before moving in completely at the end of September.

Project set numero two is called The Tile Trouble Trick which includes tile in three baths, kitchen, entry, fireplace, utility room, and maybe the exit to the backyard. The TTT is a scary prospect, much learning needs to happen for a successful and timely completion of the TTT.

20% nervous and 80% excited, I hold in my hand a house key to David and my new home. Some things I found out about the place today:

• The big tree in the front yard is a magnolia tree. I can’t wait to see it bloom.
• Our next door neighbors, an elderly couple, just painted the exterior of their home bright green with white trim.
• There is a library within walking distance. This made David very happy because just last night he mentioned that he wishes our new place has a library close by.

I can’t wait to get a paint roller in my hand.

Yes, the key really has the night sky artwork on it.
