Pilgrim's Progress

In nine months or less, we hope to put the house on the market.  There is much to do between now and then.  The list is pretty long due to neglect and twenty-four years of living in it.  We need to paint several rooms, re-carpet the upstairs, re-roof, re-place counters and tile in both upstairs bathrooms, tidy up the landscape, fix the sprinkling system and more.  It definitely will keep us (Dad mostly) busy all year long. 

Yesterday we painted two rooms, Jory's and the playroom.  Do you recognize this bedroom with pink carpet? 

  Today, yes, on the 4th of July, we (Dad) will begin the roof.   I am the hospitality committee hauling drinks and other needed items to the handsome roofer.  The neighbors got three bids for their roof which were $8, 12 and $16,000.  We are getting a steal at $4k by doing it ourselves.   Pray no one falls off the roof.

Tomorrow, the swamp cooler will be removed with the crane and a new attic fan  installed.  If that doesn't bring rain, nothing will.    Hopefully our energy will hold out until the end of this potential goal.
