Day 65

On Sunday my Aunt and cousin came by the house.  We got a lot of wood from the backyard burned.  It's at least all over by the fire pit now instead of all over the backyard.  My mom also got to work painting.  She kept saying, "Well, as long as I have the white paint out, what else do you need done?"  She painted 3 walls in our bedroom as well as the ceiling.  She also did the ceiling in Oliver's room and added another coat to the wainscoting in the bathroom. I had the kids there for a while and all I do is chase Penelope around saying, "Don't touch that,"  And carry a 22 pound baby on my hip.  So, I don't take them often or for very long.  All I did was sweep up the bedrooms a little.

I had to order more gravel because 6 tons only did about half of the driveway.  Hopefully 10 more should do it.

We had to buy a new furnace.  Luckily, we know someone who knows someone and got it at warehouse prices.  Our dads worked on it last night and it's almost installed.  It needed converted from gas to propane, so it's almost ready to go. 

I'm getting a little tired of Menard's.  When they had their tile sale at the beginning of the month, I ordered 26 boxes because there we not that many in stock.  They told me to call back in a week.  I've called twice and it will still be at least another week.  I should have just bought all that they had in stock and ordered the rest.  At least we would be able to get started on the kitchen floors.  Josh still needs to buy cement floor first.  I don't even know if that's what it's called, but he's laying it under the tiles so they are less likely to crack or break from being walked on.

We need another coat of "mud" on the drywall in there and then hopefully I will be able to paint above the cabinets.  Then they can be installed.  Or they can be painted first.  I'm not really sure which way will be easier. 

My dad is up at the house now.  I never know what he's doing there ;)
