Today was a cool day with rain on an off this afternoon. Besides the mud that it creates, it was a nice day to work inside. After our morning devotional, Bob handed out our work assignments. Not only was today a full sheet task day, but it was a LANDSCAPE with TWO columns! That’s a first. The best way to describe all the tasks for today is to look at the sheet … whew, what a list!
With our amazing team, almost all of those tasks were done today! I often tell Bob how critical his work is to making this house happen. He stays up late every night working to come up with a daily task list that will be most effective, while making sure all the material we need for the day are available. It is quite a ‘behind the scenes’ project management job.
There was a lot of work done on the finish work today. We had a team working on cleaning up the moldings in all of the rooms (door moldings, window sills, floor moldings, etc.). They would check and putty all the nail holes, sand them down until smooth, clean them off, caulk the edges, and then give the baseboard trim a third coat of paint. Neal, who was a professional painter before his retirement, continued to touch up the doors, shelves, and anything else that needed a touch up. They completely finished the bedrooms in preparation for the carpets that will be installed tomorrow. They look great!
The lighting team installed the ceiling fixtures/fans, and finished wiring any remaining switches. The electrician came in, and turned on the circuits. Everything worked as designed!!
The kitchen trim was completed, and the stove was installed. They also installed a desktop in the custom designed desk in one of the bedrooms.
Another team worked on installing the bathroom mirrors and lights.
Joe and I had the task of installing shelving and rods in all of the closets.
While we were working in the master bedroom closet, I heard folks asking for Debbie to come to the front porch. I couldn’t figure out why …. but soon found out why. The love of my life sent me a beautiful bouquet of roses for our 37th anniversary! He seems to be able to get these delivered anywhere ;-0.
For our anniversary dinner, we wanted to get a taste of Disney. Mickey waffles to the rescue … lol.
What a great way to spend our anniversary! After today, everyone feels more confident that we will be more than ready for handing over the keys on Friday!
Happy Anniversary!!🌺
You and your team are doing a wonderful job! What a special thing to be a part of. Thanks for sharing your journey. We look forward to what you’ve accomplished every day.
