THE LEE'S HAVE LEFT THE BUILDING! We are now at the point where our floors are going to be handscraped and refinished. That means we had to pack the whole house and move out all furniture, beds, decor...even curtains! We shoved eveything we could into the 3rd floor ( Clint, our builder scrambled to get the floor in ahead of time) and the 2nd floor playroom (the carpet came in damaged, so we will just lay it when the hardwoods are done and we have moved back in). So, we decided a vacation was in order! We loaded the car ( packed top to bottom) with everything from clothes to toys and scooters, baseballs and tennis raquets...and we are off to the cabin in Glorieta, New Mexico. The cabin is a very special place to Brian's family and we have not been able to visit in a while. We will be returning on the night of the 19th...we start school on the 20th! So, not only did we pack the house and pack for the trip, we ( I really should be saying I...) packed for school - uniforms, supplies, backpacks, lunchboxes, teacher gifts....all in the guest house for our return. Oh, we won't be able to spend the night there, but we can retrieve the loot for the following day.
I hope the floors will be ready for us to move back in by that weekend....Our builder has the whole week with an empty house and no kids to bug him, so I also look forward to seeing what he accomplishes as well.
All the texture on the walls is finished and the cabinets are being installed ( It took a little longer since a few of them were not made correctly and had to be rebuilt) Supposedly, we will have a kitchen by the end of August...appliances and all. We shall see...
