30 Days and counting
It's official now. I just gave notice to our landlords that we'll be moving out the end of May.
I'm now officially in panic mode. Excited, but feeling just a tad overwhelmed.
Not only do we have an awful lot of work to do on the house to make it habitable, then must clean it so we're not wading through dust, but we have to clean the rental house we're in and return it to a state that will make someone else want to rent it.
I've been spending so much time on the new house that I've let things slide in our temporary home worse than usual. Even the laundry is piling up, which is unusual - that's one thing that I'm always on top of, (sometimes the only thing).
Tonight I'll be going straight to the house from work again to help Kim finish casing & trimming the windows. This weekend I have a bathroom floor to tile (the largest one) and doors to sand & stain.
I'll have to tell the boys to turn their underwear inside-out to get a second wearing.
About Me
- Jem
- It's a juggling act. Trying to balance raising a family and working, with making art and building a new house. I'm not a professional blogger (oh, you could tell?) and started this blog as a way to keep friends & family up-to-date on our house-building progress and keep a record of the whole adventure. We're in our fabulous new home now (I have a very talented husband) and are picking away at our very long list of finishing tasks. Next big job: landscaping. I have a studio again so this blog will do double-duty as an artist blog too. I seem to post about every two weeks, but do have a reputation for being consistently inconsistent so keep checking back.

I've found its not that expensive to hire a cleaning service to come in just after you move out ... it has been worthwhile for me.
