This week was filled with what else...rentals!!
We've been working about 7 days on a house built in 1951--and hasn't been worked on much since. It's been painted, and windows put in half of the duplex, but the other half has been lived in almost since it was new, and nothing has been done to that side...at the renters request!
Needless to say, we've spent a lot of time outside, getting the old rotted siding ripped off...the house power washed, the cement cleaned up, and we have damaged peaks to repair yet. The priming should start on Monday, Tuesday at the latest, and we are praying to have the house painted out by Friday...as Cec & Rudy should be arriving on Saturday...we are SO EXCITED to have my Aunt & Uncle arrive and spend a week with us!
On Friday...we headed out for some supplies, as we ran out of siding--as we found more rot than we originally thought. Just about the time we arrived back in town...it started raining! UGH...you can't work when it's raining sideways! We headed home, and primered the repair boards in the garage. Not a wasted day, just didn't get done what we expected.
Today on Saturday...we had a slow start. We worked at the rental about 4 hours before coming home to get cleaned up and head to a friends baby shower. It was a co-ed shower/bbq--and it was a lot of fun. It was low key, and just a few folks...so really glad we went and had a chance for a good visit. Looking forward to meeting Tony & Tina's little girl here soon!!
New Beginnings--the fresh start after the storm. Follow along as we dedicate our lives to God after blessing us with a new beginning and another chance to make things right.
