We've had contractors here for weeks. That translates to me getting up to let them in, and then moving to a spot behind a computer in the dining room. No treadmill nor real exercise because they're in and out of my working space at odd times -- mostly because they...
Ben is off of night shift and has secured a spot on days. When it comes to Coco, that's like the best news ever! It's not that I don't want to be around her as much -- it's that she needs more time with her Dad. Summertime incoming. Not sure when the pool will be here...
The upstairs en suite has been patched and painted as has the master bedroom. All that's left is for our contractor dude to finishing trimming everything up. We kept the "happy" green the sellers chose in the bedroom and painted the bathroom to match since they're...
The last few days it's been in the 80s. Sadly, tomorrow night I'll have to bring my plants inside because temps are forecasted to plummet. We're enjoying the warm days while we can... My tulips still aren't blooming, but the snowball bushes have more little flowers...

Now that I'm feeling human and back to my old habits (not getting nearly enough sleep), things are progressing on the remodeling front. Mr. Contractor is here daily and the naked room is starting to get covered in wood. My view is great... except the sun coming...
Tomorrow is the day Mr. Contractor is supposed to show up. Those butt ugly spray foam insulation walls are going to be hidden behind t1-11 wood sheets. Certainly nothing fancy... it's a barn. But it will be nice to see the dogs walk through the house without pieces of...
