A red letter day!

Today was another day with more chores to check off.  Jim started the day by redoing the one area in the floor that now looked worse.  He put two coats on it and let it dry.  Thankfully, that seemed to do the trick and that spot looks nice now.  Whew...I felt bad since we probably should have just left it alone in the first place!

Jim got the rest of the scaffolding down, the back porch all power washed and the table back in place. Looks beautiful!

We washed the rest of the driveway and Jim even cleaned the roofs of the pole barn.  I washed the basement slate again after Jim had taken all his tools out - things are looking awfully spiffy!

Check out the before and after!

Does anyone else clean their roof like this?

 

Which leads us to the big news...the sign went in the yard this afternoon right before we got cleaned up for church!  Again it's a lot of mixed emotions, but this was a big step!  We decided to bury St. Joseph tomorrow on Sunday and that will help for sure!

When we walked out of church, I jokingly pulled out my phone and said...wonder if anyone called - and someone had!  I was nervous but I called her back when we got home. Unfortunately, she said she lived on our same street so no doubt she was just curious about price.  Oh well, it's a start!

It's official!!
