Oklahoma.

We got past the rain. It's getting warmer. 5:32pm and 93 degrees.

Interstate 40

Headed west. Was raining back in Arkansas about an hour ago.
70 degrees at 4:02pm. Feels great. It's been in the upper 90's at home for the past week. Before that it was 100's. We're ready for some cooler temps.

Lavatory, door knobs & trim.

Things are moving right along since Shane got here!!! He is a great carpenter. A "finish" carpenter. :-)
He has fixed the trim around the front door. Both bathroom doors will stay open without something in front of them. The closet is ready to hang the wire shelving system. All the door knobs & all except 5 drawer pulls are attached. (I'm going to Lowe's to get those.) The trim at the bottom of the french doors & front door covers the ends of the oak flooring. And the guest bath looks great with the medicine cabinet up and the lavatory & fixtures installed.
There are several more things to finish up, but we are SO close!!!! I can't tell you how excited and anxious we are!!!!

A good reason...

Oh! Yes!!! There is a very good reason to put something over the floor before painting!!!!! LOL!!!!!
If... And when I finish the trim in this closet, I can put the wire closet system up. :-)
More photos later.

Taking a break...

Shane, our new carpenter, has got just about all the trim & moulding put up. Leaving me the very boring job of filling nail holes, caulking the spaces between trim & drywall.
3:15pm. It's raining!!!!!! :-) can uncross fingers & toes. LOL!!!!
I don't have an umbrella down here.
The photo is looking NW across the lake from our back porch. :-) We are getting closer to the end of our very long tunnel!!! Oh! Wait!!! There is a light down there!!!! LOL!!!!!

A few dark clouds...

Could we have some rain, please????
