In!!!!!

Wow, that was a lesson in patience!  We had to wait all weekend.  Then this morning no one was in the store or warehouse so we couldn't get things going until after 10am. 

While the tile was being transported from one warehouse to another for pick up, dh loaded up the van with our old countertop (like new, really), huge window sized mirror, hollywood lights and I'm not sure what else.  He took them to Habitat for Humanity Resale Store.  We donate them and anyone doing a remodel or repair can come to the store to buy something gently used for minimal cost.  All the proceeds benefit Habitat, one of our favorite charities. It's a win-win-win situation. DH has built homes with them before.  People with minimal income apply for a house through Habitat.  If selected, they need to work a certain number of hours on their house as well as other houses being built.  Then they get a house with low payments because it was inexpensively, yet well built. The idea is that a house that they invest with time, sweat and labor will be well taken care of.  These houses are prayed over and scripture verses are written all over the framining before being dry walled.

As for our bathroom, I think all that is left is grouting the floor and backsplash tile and installing the toilet and baseboards.  Then I can put the pretty things in and we can use it! 

The van is happy, it can finally fit in the garage!

On the health front, ds is hanging in there with a cold.  Not too bad with the ziacom nose swabs.  His lungs are tight so I pulled the inhaler out for him. I have experienced symptoms of a cold myself so I am using the ziacom as well.  If I get sick, the house usually goes under!  We have our medieval feast in 5 more days!
