No move? OK!

Well, it looks like it was a good thing that we weren't set to move this weekend. Yesterday started with a monsoon. Seriously, an 6-inch deep river was gushing down our driveway. I nearly lost the flip flops I was wearing when I made the dash from the car to the house. Even though the weather cleared up early in the morning, the ground was saturated and would have been no fun to try to be walking on during a move.

Now, combine that with me waking up to snow this morning. Not just snow, but snowing and hard. It snowed all morning and a good bit this afternoon. Thus, adding to the soggy yard. So, its not a horrible thing that we force the move between these things.

What were we doing? Well, finishing the trim and painting. It's a little harder than we thought. Not really hard, but time consuming. I have been painting all weekend. I haven't ever had to paint trim. And that's not really all that fun. Mostly because that adds 2 more steps to you being able to finish a room. The trim has to be painted (twice) and then you cut the all color into the trim. It just takes longer than you think.

Although, I can officially say that all the bedrooms are finished! Yay! Well, we do have to do the window trim, but that's one of those items that will be done after we move in. But, the bedrooms are move-in ready.

Tomorrow, I will be focused on painting the trim that is in the halls and living areas. Fun times. I will have pictures tomorrow. I have them now, I just don't have the connection cord to upload them.

I can't close this post with out saying an incredibly huge thank you to my parents-in-law for helping so much. They came up on Friday afternoon and have worked like crazy for 2 days. We couldn't have done half of our work with out them. Thank you so much! We love you!

That's so funny. That's what we did all weekend with my in-laws too! Trim and trim-painting. Not so much fun!
