So. Good news. The garage is insulated and ready for sheet rockers to arrive today.
You know that project I thought was done? Um, not so much. When we bid out the sheetrocking, the cost was much lower if we did the insulation ourselves. And now we know why.
I spent the weekend cutting insulation,
So, in my bible reading this week, I’m in Psalms 69.
It starts like this: Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.
I just love David.
I can hardly believe this but… seven years of remodeling—SEVEN, (the biblical number of completion, which feels almost too on-the-nose)—we have reached the end of the Great House Project.
Okay, almost. Let’s not get too excited. But let’s say we’re on that final room. The Garage.
Now, if you’ve ever remodeled anything,
Happy Friday!
Okay, so. Last weekend, I did a thing. A thing I’ve been waiting to do for a long time.
No, don’t get excited. I didn’t purchase a sailboat and traverse the world. (Not that thing, the other thing!)
I stained my office door.
What,
It’s happening!
We broke ground on our home addition (my new office!) — and by “broke ground” I mean a very large machine showed up, made a lot of noise, and now I have a pile of gravel and some lumber and am desperately holding onto the hope that’s is going to be fabulous.
It’s happening.
The hunt I’ve been promising you? The one I’ve been not-so-subtly teasing for approximately forever?
IT STARTS NOW.
THE HUNT FOR ALAN MARTIN is officially launched.
Four elite operatives. Four corners of the world. One man who can’t stay hidden forever.
You’ve watched Alan Martin wreak havoc across my books—plotting to assassinate a president,
So I spent the weekend on my knees. And no, not in prayer—though there was some of that, too, mostly in the form of “Lord, please let this grout line be straight.”
We finally finished the bathroom floor. FINISHED. As in, hexagonal tile laid, grouted, and looking like something out of a home magazine (if that magazine also featured a middle-aged woman groaning every time she stood up).
I hope you had a lovely holiday season!
We hit the road on December 10th, headed to IA for a family reunion, then up to Minneapolis to visit my brother and his family, then to AZ for an event, and then BACK to MN for Christmas with the family…
…and finally hustled out of town before the blizzard hit back to lovely Florida.
Let’s just talk about this week.
First…the Vikings. THE VIKINGS.
We turned the game off at the top of the 4th Quarter and instead did THIS:
Tiling the Bathroom.
The bathroom is coming along…we won’t get it done before our trip North, but hopefully before the Great Exodus where our friends and family flee the North and visit us on our little island.
First – Thank you to all the veterans out there. If you’re a veteran, or the family member of a vet, thank you to you, also. (I’m the wife and a mom to 2 brave vets!) Our freedoms aren’t free, and I’m grateful to the heroes who stand on the line for us and protect our country.
