Monday AM

Steve and I have been so busy at the Creekside property I don't even know where I am anymore.
I do know that I'm sore and tired all the time.  Elaine came by yesterday with her mother, brother, and Rhonda, one of her daughters.  Her mother knows a lot about what's going on with houses and how to keep them repaired.  She loved some of the things we're doing with the house.
It was nice to talk with another knowledgeable person about what all we're doing.
We're supposed to close on the house today, but I haven't heard anything from the realtor, so I don't know what all to do to get there for the closing.
I just have to hope that everything works out.
I saw in the obituaries this morning that Cassie Winkler, a lady from Rutledge, has died.  She was an Apostolic lady who was a fine Christian woman.  I saw her often about town, but not lately.  She had been in Ridgeview Terrace, a local nursing home.
I was in the Family Dollar Store yesterday to get some much-needed cat food, and saw Alex Watson, Wayne Watson's son.  He has worked for me in the recent past, and I asked him if he'd be interested in working again.  He said he'd come by to see me if he had any time.  He's built small, like his father was, but he can work as well as any man.
Steve Richards and I have got a closet built for one of the upstairs bedrooms, which is a really large, walk-in style.  We extended it into the sunroom area, because there's so much space there.  I super-insulated it, so the heat and cooling bills for Elaine will be more affordable.
Steve Welch got the stairway wired while he was home this time.  There had never been a switched light in the stairs, so he had to go up into the attic and do quite a bit of wiring.  I helped him pull cords and wires, when he would let me.
I've got two fabulous brass-ball type chandeliers to go in the stairway, and they will look resplendant there, and give lots of light, as they both have lots of 'candles' in them.
He also got the dining room supplied with three-way light switches, which is nice.  Before, you had to pull a chord hanging from the ceiling light fixture.  He romoved that horrible ceiling fan from the bathroom ceiling, and there's lights in there now on switches.  There had been no switches anywhere in the whole house before, except for the kitchen, which was old, and had to be replaced.  It's now a three-way, also.
There's just so much to do.
We've now got so much material and supplies there that we have to move something to work on something else, which doubles the work load, but the things I've bought for the house will be needed, and I got them while they were cheaper and available.  I wish I had a good, locking storage unit there.
It's supposed to be clear today, and it looks like it will be, so I hope we will get lots done.
S2 (Steve Richards) is looking ahead to repairing the soffit and facia on the roof-lines.  That's going to be a real chore, and really high up.  It's a tall house.
It's still fairly early, and I'm tired already, but there's lots of work to do today.
