I’ve decided to start a new feature here on this largely neglected blog.  I’m going to try to post every day I work on the house with a brief description of what I’ve done – as a friend put it a little while ago, it’ll be a like a change log for the house.  Matt was doing something like this for awhile, and I’ve decided to pick it up again and see how long I can manage to do it.  

I do have one request though – could anyone out there reading this refrain from saying how close we are?  I’ve been hearing this for months now I’ve gone from “oh yes, we’re getting close!” to “*sigh* yes, getting closer” to “*huge sigh* well, there’s still a lot of work” to “*gigantic sigh* I guess”.  I may snap sometime soon, and the results may not be pretty.  Yes, if perhaps my husband didn’t have to work 70+ hours a week and/or I wasn’t homeschooling and taking care of three children and all the household duties a family entails, we probably would be in by now.  But that’s not the situation, and close is a relative term.  So as to not turn this into a huge rant, I think I’ll just stop now.  I think you all get the point.  🙂

Sort of along that vein, I’m also going to put together a list of everything that needs to be done for us to move in, so that you all can see what we’re up against.  I’m not sure how best to do this – perhaps I’ll see if I can make a static page and strike through the completed items as we finish them.  I’ll post something about it when I figure it out.
