Greeting!

I have been busy the past several weeks both working on the house and moving. So, I have been remiss in providing my promised updates. Sorry for that. Here is the latest.

I have completed the move from my apartment to the house. The process extended over several weeks of boxing, loading boxes in to the SUV, transporting said boxes to the house, unloading them and repeating the process every evening. It was slow ... did I mention it was slow. Now the boxes are in the garage and basement waiting to be unpacked.

During this period I also completed the cabinet installation, dishwasher installation, garbage disposal, gas range, refrigerator, lighting in the living room and kitchen and ceiling fan in the living room. Thanks to my friend Rob for painting the living and dining room.

I still need to install the back splash and range hood. Also need to finish the toe kick and trim. I'm also planning a venetian plaster treatment on the kitchen wall.

I am living in the house. The bedroom, bathroom, living room and dining room are functional but I have some decorating to do. The rest of the house is full of boxes.

The lawn has been taken over by moles, they grow big in Missouri. Due to the drought the grass that is still alive is at least slow growing. I shall be mowing for the fist time in 3 weeks tonight. We had a shower so the grass revived.

I shall post some more photos soon.
