New House Update

Well, folks… The interior of the new house has been painted and it looks great! I forgot to take photos the last time I was out there because my daughter and her crew came for an unexpected visit. I took them out to see the house because they hadn’t seen it in such “nearly finished” condition.

It’s time to pick out flooring and we decided a while back that we were going to use vinyl plank flooring. We also decided on a “wood look” but not too dark and not too light. Well… That shit is expensive! Anywhere from $4000 to $6000 for the flooring and not counting labor. Holy crap. Dad wants to go to Lowe’s to look at the flooring in person because it’s hard to choose online. Going to Lowe’s would be fine except for the fact that the a/c in our car doesn’t work and it’s an hour drive from our house! When we go out, even if it’s just a curbside order at Walmart, Dad gets overly tired and over heated so he ends up falling at some point after we get home.

A couple of weeks ago, Dad fell 3 times in one day! He fell last night while getting ready for bed. One of these times, he’s going to get hurt. I worry about him so much. I desperately need the house finished and my sister here to help me. I’m trying to be patient.

Nothing else new here; My furbabies are fine and still pains in my you-know-what, I’m still amongst the living, and I’m…still…crazy. Hahaha!

  1. Hey there my friend! Well that is definitely some great news, the house is coming along and I can’t wait for you to post that you’ve moved in! Flooring is definitely expensive, it’s eye and wallet popping for sure. But, did you know that Sam’s carries that wood floor tile as well? I saw it this past weekend and let me tell you, it’s probably less expensive than Lowe’s. I’m sorry to hear dad’s been falling, it’s scary for sure. My mom’s fallen more times than I care to count this year as well. But she’s not as mobile as your dad is, she uses a walker (or should use a walker but doesn’t out of vanity) and she trips on the damn thing too! Ugh. Stay safe my friend!

    • I’ll check out Sam’s but it’s so far from us that we probably wouldn’t go. Dad won’t use the walker. He says it’s awkward. I tell him it’s awkward because he isn’t used to using it. He fell yesterday but nothing but a bruise. He’s been so weak lately. He won’t let me take him to the doctor and God forbid if I mention the ER! Wish us luck. :/
