Exhaustion

I am too tired to think straight. It takes a lot of the fun out of the stuff we are doing. It also make our tasks more difficult, frustrating, and longer. That being said, we wouldn't have it differently. Our timeline has been manageable thus far. After the next two weeks have passed the bulk of the essentials will have been completed and we will have a home. Getting there.

The big thing this week was the windows. It took four men nearly two days to get them in. They were necessary and really improve the house. Naomi cleaned up the garden a bit while they were busy inside. She also cleaned the radiators which were disgusting. We crossed lots of little things off the list, filled up the dumpster with old cabinets, picked out paint, met the neighbors, and today we will get the crown moulding finished up for the most part. Workers came to patch up some cracks, clean the chimney, run the piping for the washer and dryer along with a few other things.

Abigail and Amélie have been doing really well. They feel more comfortable here, amid the chaos, than they did at the vacation house. The garden has been a lot of fun for them and they really like playing in the sun room. Sleeping has been no problem at all.

Good thing we had sunshine!
