REMINDER:  What appears on the blog is between you and me.  NEVER mention the blog to Bruce.  Although he suggested it, he hates when people ask him about specific things that they read on the blog.  You can ask "how's it going" or "what are you working on now", but no specifics.  This reminder will appear every month for those who are just beginning to view the blog.  Thank you.

Each day we are getting more and more things unpacked and put away.  It's very hard for me to want to get things "set-up" for living when I know we have to move everything again to work on each room.  But it does make it feel more and more like home.

Bruce filled 5 5-gallon buckets of salt from the old water softener.  We think they just dumped all the salt "they" (selling realtor) found in the garage into it.  Not knowing anything about softeners, we're not sure.  But it seemed like a lot of salt.  One of these days we need to figure it all out.

Once again Nick & Alissa have come to the rescue.  Remember the 4 wood knobs I painted white for the bathroom.  Turns out the screws were not long enough to go through the drawers.  The kids had knobs that their kitchen remodel guy ordered by mistake.  So I was able to use the 4 white ones on the cabinet doors and their brown ones on all the drawers.  Looks funky but it's better than breaking a nail every time I try to open one.  Had wanted to put some on the kitchen drawers too, but Bruce put a kibosh on that idea.

Waiting on the dryer delivery.  Maybe I can get some towels washed tonight.  Though Bruce said that the faucets leak.  So what else is knew.  It makes it official, there's not one piece of plumbing that hasn't leaked!   He'll have to pull out the washing and dryer and tear out the sheet rock and re-plumb.  I'm hoping it will be one more reason to move forward on building a laundry room off the master bath.  A girl can dream!

Something else we discovered, under the terribly dirty hardwood floors in the dining area is rather nice looking oak.  Now that Bruce cleaned a spot, we need to do the rest of it.  Even though it will get torn out when we redo the kitchen.

 My Sewing room is coming together.  Even though Annabelle is still in pieces parts in the corner.  It will take time to decide exactly where I want everything.  Need to get a cutting table in there too.  Gotta get out the old graph paper and work it all out.
