We were blessed with a 2 inch rain last night. It was a steady, even rain giving us maximum benefit. We have not had that much of a rain since we arrived here last April. Too early to say the drought is over but a step in the right direction to be sure.
The primer on the drywall was applied this morning. The texture will be applied tomorrow and then I will be released to paint come Saturday. The only problem with that is I do not have the paint yet. A trip to Fort Dodge to get the flooring and then another to Ames for the shower parts is in the plan for Saturday. I plan to get the paint at Menards in Fort Dodge as they have the best price right now. So then I will be ready to start painting on Sunday. The sequence of events can get a bit tricky at times.
The cooler weather has, of course, prompted thoughts of heading south to Texas. Our plans are to leave here mid-October, stopping in Missouri to catch one of Gary's football games and see our Missouri kids and kidlets before wending our way to the Rio Grande Valley. That is only a month away. We do plan to get as much as possible done on the house before then but with the usual delays that naturally happen that will not be everything. We are into the fun part now so when we return next Spring it should not take all that long to finish it up. So after two summers of house obsession it should be a different, kinder, gentler summer in 2013.
Oh and by the way, the job thus far on the drywall application looks super! The young man doing the work will get a well earned recommendation from us.
