We are having fun ripping things out of our house, cleaning it up and making it ours. So far we have torn out all of the dry wall in the basement, including the room they made the second garage into. We have lifted the sagging porch, torn out carpet, torn down some wall paper, cleared out mold, cut down the jungle out front, and have filled 2 dumpsters full of trash.
It is definitely a work in progress and will be a while, but we are having fun and it is ours. Here is a link to all the pictures I have taken so far, if you are interested.

On a funny sidenote, the other day in class with my 5th and 6th graders we were talking about aging and a student said, "I heard everything starts doing downhill after 30." I told her that while that may be true, I am almost 30 so that gives her a picture of what 30 looks like. She quickly changed her mind out of embarrassment and said, "Well, I mean 45. Isn't 45 senior citizen age?" I said, "No, dearest one, that is 65." Blessings to you, my child, for making me laugh so hard and be able to tell this story over and over again.

OK, tool belt.
5th, 6th graders no clue as to age 30, 45, 65, ets; I laughed real good at that story also.
Lots of "Process" but many stories to tell in years to come-as you "age" into your 30's.
God's blessings on you and your efforts.
Remember-safety is always rule #1.
