We had another beautiful cool day here in Sullivan. We’re all feeling excited and a bit nervous about getting everything done in time for the key ceremony at 5PM on Friday. Bob tells us that we are in very good shape for being done on time :-).
After a wonderful devotional and prayer, Bob handed out our very long full page lists today. He does an amazing job at figuring out how to keep everyone busy, but not running into each other.
Our first job was installing the last bracket and shelving in one of the bedroom closets. It didn’t take us long to complete that task, so were off to start painting.
At around 10AM everyday, we take a break. We are very blessed to enjoy delicious snacks provided by local volunteers. We’ve had some amazing snacks – everything from homemade muffins, cakes, brownies, peanut butter rice krispie treats, and cookies. They are delicious, but not good for the waist line… lol. Today’s snack was a trail mix that was amazing! Since everyone enjoyed it so much, we asked for the recipe. I’m definitely going to try it … and you should too :-).
After break, we were back to painting. We started with painting both sides of the door trim, door jams, door edges and casing around the bedroom doors and the attic plug.
Then we moved on to painting the six panel doors. The doors look nice with that design, but it’s time consuming to get into each panel with a brush. The four bi-fold doors in each closet certainly have a lot of surface area to paint :-). After seven hours of painting we were done with our painting task for the day. All the work done to fill the nail holes and caulk around the doors over the last few days really paid off. The doors look great.
Others on the team were making great progress. The kitchen counter tops and appliances were delivered and installed. It’s really starting to shape up!
The plumber installed the hot water heater and the fixtures in the bathroom. Bob commented on the ‘work of art’ the plumber did to plumb the pressure relief valve piping around the water heater :-).
There were many other finishing touches made throughout the house. The attention to the small details is really impressive. We’re definitely getting close! God is good.
Finishing touches and detail has taken on new meanings. Its called work. The painting is a major undertaking as are so many of the finishing touches. Its not over yet, it is looking better each day. The end is in sight. What a great job this team is doing. This home is really beautiful. Its Gold stars all around
I know you have not completed all your tasks yet- but the house looks beautiful!

Running for the finish line, team .
Looks amazing and can’t wait to see the handing of the key. It will be emotional for all involved and for us watching through your blogs, Debbie .
We saw it from the time when it was just a piece of land and a sheet full of tasks .
The details are tedious and takes so much time and effort to do it right bc this is the type of work easily noticed .
Waiting to see you all crossing the finish line 👍👍👏👏
Hugs and blessings 🙏🤗
