Never Ending Journey

Work seems to go so slow on the second house...wish I had more $$ and it would be done really FAST....but we slowly plod along, trying to do what we can each week.
We have cut out one of the full size bunk beds, but still need to paint...I tried to fill in all the cracks in the wAll plaster. I left the full size bunk beds in one room, may be needed for company or children, plus it has another full size bed plus a twin on the top...lots of beds...I keep thinking this would be great for hunters.

The new roof looks great, and the chimney pipe has been pulled out and covered over.

We finished the ceiling in the coffee room, plus put down new tile on the floor. We did not do that great a job....ended up with two spaces in the ceiling, but the boards were not marked when they were pulled down....this area had leaked years ago, I wanted all the old ceiling pulled down, looked like it could have had some mold, so it is all replaced now, And the new roof will keep any leaks out..

The bathroom is almost done, putting in shelves where we pulled out the old water heater.

Caught our hired helper cooling off....it wAs hot working inside...with cooler weather forecast, that will be A help.Photobucket

You can see the cookstove I bought to the left....it is ready to go, needs pushed into place. I look around and smile when I think this was all run on butane at one time...the connections have been left in place where the lights were at one time...

I still have to buy a refrigerator to fit in one spot...have moved the portable dishwasher out of the way...I can fit an apartment size one in the space.

I have curtains bought to go up, but not ready for them yet...yes, this is a never ending journey...being so old, I will never do this again....but it keeps me young at heart planning......

And a wonderful view of Hombre from the back deck....
