Friday!
Electrician (fantastic BTW My IS heats my home ) is coming for the last time (hopefully) tomorrow to hook up double oven, cooktop and cooktop exhaust vent. He's older, knows when to gently suggest ideas to younger other subs, priceless!

My new toy basod should be delivered too so I *hope* to have the new dishwasher up and running too! GE also sent me a new solenoid, as I cannot think of anything else to prevent the valve from opening, so its here if I need it.

NOW I getting excited Lots of crap, I mean stuff to walk around til the cabinets are up but 1800sq ft heated is so much easier to navigate, especially with the lil one.

I want coffee from a real mug, tired of the foam cups And real meals. Had stouffers lasagne in convection microwave tonight. Again. Just not the same.

We have all winter to paint, just a few cabinets left to set, and lay the pergo. He has more snow days here than we ever knew in Colorado.
New pellet stove is performing great, he adds bags as needed, thanks darlin' but so far its been on low speed

I found a great young man to help around the house. He brings his six month old with him and is willing and able to do hard labor. I might ask him to paint.... I have paid him over $300 so far for help around the yard and construction clean up etc, and the remaining 2.5 tons of pellets arent even available at the dealers yet! Then my husband offered him a WELL paying job at his company, but he declined.... So I will offer more work for him when we are in a position to unpack my previous homes furniture and things, so many duplicates many need to go. He has a giant truck (GMC6500?) with tie down straps to make large runs to goodwill for me Dear husband wasn't keen on the idea at first but he is thrilled with the progress as he works himself to the bone to take care of us, the trash and clean up always is bottom of priority list when he falls asleep sitting up in his chair at night.

Sounds like things are coming together out there WW! And finding a young guy who's willing to do all the odd jobs around the entire property is awesome. He should make a huge dif for both you and your honey. Good news!
