Progress and Hope

I mentioned previously that we finally have hope to finish the new house. Today will be Day Two of work on the deck/porch. Fingers crossed it will be finished by day’s end. Handyman seems to know what he’s doing. When that is completed, I’ll be able to go up the ramp, enter the house, and give direction as to where I want electrical outlets and things like that. It has been years since I was able to go in that house! I will be posting photos as things progress.

I am cautiously optimistic about this whole process. I can’t help but think about my ex who was all talk and no workie. And I don’t mean that he talked too much instead of working, as my DIL thought I meant. What I mean is that my ex always talked big about doing this and that but he never did what he said he would do. I’m praying that Handyman does what he says he will do.

It will be nice not to worry about the leaky roof, the sagging floors, or cracked walls. Not to mention all the cracks and crevices in this old house that allow all kinds of bugs and spiders in. I’m envisioning us in the new house. I’m thinking positively now that there’s a little light at the end of the tunnel. Another positive note is that my youngest sister has shown interest in coming to live with us so she can help me with the cleaning and cooking and looking after Dad. I just don’t know how much longer I can do it on my own.

Please cross your fingers, or pray, whatever you do….that we will be in our new house this time next year or sooner! And in case you don’t know, I appreciate that you take the time to read my blog!

Until next time,
