Are You Ever Done?

Just when I was ready for retirement, the weather broke for a day. It seems like it has been forever since I have been able to work...so now the excuses are gone... it's closet time. I built the closet in Tug's room pretty similar to the ones in our room. I was able to use the old Chestnut laundry room door for one of the side panels and scrounge enough scraps to piece together the rest. I did not build any doors because we will probably do the old quilt thing here as well. I did not get to fancy with the box because in a short little while, it will be so full you won't be able to see the inside anyway. Because kids clothes are so small I was able to hang two rods one behind the other with plenty of room for now plus double the hanging space. This project officially gets me off the hook in the nursery(today...you never know what tomorrow holds)

THIS IS IT

Well folks...It has been quite a journey and although I could go on forever with endless little projects, it is time to call it a wrap. We have finished up so many little things I can't remember them all. We got some nice stained glass window treatments for downstairs which really set off the living room. We have moved in the Bird's Eye Maple bedroom suit of Maranda's, a new dining table of Roger and Daisey's, and many rugs to boot. We have almost completed Baby Tugs' room (the nursery) with every part so far reused from somewhere. I still have to build out a closet but not now. I have begun to work on the antique sign ceiling over the kitchen and dining but waiting on that could take forever. It is way to rainy and cold to start the landscaping so that will be a spring time event. We are so blessed to have this home and to have friends and family who have checked in along the way. We are so thankful for all of you and your support...Now that the guest room is complete(we bought a new mattress today), there is now excuse for anyone to come visit and enjoy our home and see all the progress first hand. For you faithful blog readers I would cut back your views to once a month so you are not disappointed. I will continue to update but who knows when or what about. The bottom line is I could not have done this without the most patient wife, the love of my life, and all the help from anyone silly enough to stop by with free time( or not). We never had to leave and Lord willing we never will.
