Operation Broadwell: May 2013

When I look back and see that it has been a month since I last updated, it amazes even me. I know that time sure does fly when you are having fun. By the way, it sure flies when you are working hard on a house renovation too. We have done so many things this month. I will probably not even be able to remember it all. The water is finally under control with the tarps that you will see below. We are guessing that when we put the porches around the three sides of the house we will be in good shape as the water will then flow away from the house. YIPEEE! I have had my share of water in the house so it flowing away from the house is going to be a great deal. David has put the washer in temporarily so that I don't have to haul laundry back and fourth any more. What a blessing to just throw the laundry in the hamper and wash it! The guys have fixed the last of the leaky roof so it is all good to go and we can go ahead and work on the inside and not have to worry about water damage. We have replaced the old skids with new skids and now instead of saying we live on skid row we can say we live on the boardwalk. You can't even imagine how excited I was when he brought those home with him. My foot doesn't slip through the cracks anymore. Now on to the things that are really not necessary but that make my house a little more homey. David built the well with flower beds in place of steps. When I look out my window, I see beautiful flowers and lights right outside. Then a very special lady crocheted me a beautiful table cover in my favorite decor colors. It is so fun to have things that are really not necessary but loved!
