Progress slow and frustrating here at home.  Good news we can take a hot bath in the tub in Amanda's bathroom.  There are no other plumbing fixtures in there.  Yesteerday my husband dry walled and today I am to paint the walls.

Friday night I painted our bathroom, a lovely peachy-pink.  Today he will be tiling around the shower stall.  The cabinets are all in.  But we still need to do the floor.  Plumbers to be back on Tuesday to finish and then HOPEFULLY the house can be put back into some order.  Next Friday Amanda will be moved back home!  BUSY, BUSY week ahead.!!!

Only hot water. . .

The plumber did start work on Thursday. He came again yesterday promising my bathroom would be back together by Friday eve.  Then it came to I would be able to shower with hot water by Friday night.  Today, Saturday, I have hot water at the kitchen sink, to my dishwasher and washing machine, but unable to shower.  Nothing done in the bathroom but the floor pan to the shower and new drain in.  They do not work on the weekend, therefore, we will be showering outside with the hose.  I was not too pleasant to live with on Thursday, but yesterday afternoon I went to my daughters apartment to do some of the packing up for her move and being with her seemed to help me get a grip back on life.  Every room in the house has a HUGE mess and stuff everywhere, but there is NOTHING I can do about it until this bathroom mess is complete.  Since I am really unable to do anything else I have decided I need to create something this weekend.  I have decided to paint a denim jacket.  The challenge will be to be able to get to the things I need!

To add to the emotional stress of all this, or perhaps this is really the root of the problem- It is Father's Day weekend.  And this year my Father is gone.  So I am feeling pretty sad about it.

So I will create and try to save my sanity!

Well, I have not been keeping up with my blog, obviously!.  The last several weeks we are busy moving things around, cleaning out rooms, garage, etc in preparation for our daughter moving back home.  In the middle of all this, our hot wate pipe, under our house broke.  We have not had hot water for the past 3 1/2 weeks as we tried to decide if we wanted to do some remodeling in the bathrooms as well.  So today, the plumber is here to start work.  My husband tore out a lot of dry wall, etc last eve.  The house is is MESS and really starting to get to me!  We have 2 weeks before Amanda moves back in, so hopefully we will be back in order by then!. 

I have several creative ideas to work on when I am able to get to my craft supplies!

To better organized days- Marietta ;-)
