The house

Work on the house never ends. There is always something else to do.

Well, we recently reached a milestone. We finally finished installing the new flooring in the third bedroom. Next is the hallway and the front bedroom (bedroom #2). We're also going to be painting the hallway and bedroom. Normally, we could move along at whatever pace we choose. Since Jennifer is living with us while AJ is in Iraq, that changes things a little. We want to get the hallway and bedroom finished as soon as we can so that we can get her and the baby back into the front bedroom. I don't know if we'll be able to finish that much before the baby arrives.

And we've decided that in addition to replacing flooring and repainting rooms, we're going to replace the interior doors to give the house a fresher, updated look. That was my idea - I had to do a lot of talking to convince Michael on that one.

It's difficult to get work done during the week because we're both tired after working all day. Our weekends are limited by the fact that we have Tara every other weekend. And since she thinks she has to be wherever I am and right in the middle of everything, it's not possible to do much in the way of painting or installing flooring with her around.

Oh well, nothing ever gets done as quickly as I think it should, but it eventually gets done.
