Well, Matt is still in pain, but he went to work today. It's Friday, so by that alone, things are looking up! For good or for bad, there isn't too much we can do at the house this weekend. The remaining painting is in the "tool room"/office, we can't do a final cleaning until the baseboards go in, and the minimal stuff we can move upstairs short term won't take long (if Matt can even do it). We do need to clean out the camper, and Matt's friend Ron is coming out tomorrow with a load of something or other to temp out the walkway for the winter, but that's really about all we can do - a forced day off perhaps?
Current plan is to get our occupancy permit by this upcoming weekend. Hopefully the nice man who bought the trailer won't show up before then! Of course, if he does we'll figure it out, but here's hoping! Tim and Russ will be working tomorrow afternoon, making more dust (see above re: final cleaning) and finishing the stairs and baseboards.
It's getting harder and harder to stay in the camper as the house nears completion - there is space, ample heat, lights and hot water mere feet away from where we're living!! I've been showering in the house for a while, and cooking there all summer, but last night we even ate in there - Matt and I standing and the kids in their lawn chairs from the other morning!
The two last big items, the dining room/family room and the stairs are really highlights of the heart of our home and it's really great to see them coming together. It will be even greater to move in, mind you...
