Five days!

Happy Sunday to you all. :-)
I am going to post a few pictures of the house now.  There is so much to be done.
Need to figure out how to get the roof work done and hoping that we don't have to tear off the new roof the last renter put on, to get it done. There's LOTS of repairs to do, just showing you a couple.

The porch will have to be replaced because whoever did that didn't have a clue. It's not tongue and groove either. Just flat boards...

There is still roofing stuff and trash to be hauled. It's on the screen porch - which needs a lot of work, too.

Inside the house, of course, I talked about the kitchen. Still bothers me, but that's the past and we'll make it ours now.
There's floors to refinish and repair.

Since they don't make the old tongue and groove boards any more - at least not the sizes that went into a house at the turn of the last century - we've decided we'll probably go with one of those 'floating' floors. The interlocking wood flooring made to go over old wood floors.

They did a lousy job of taking up the hallway floor. It had green tiles. I have no idea why they decided to take them up. Wish they would have done it better. The junk has all been hauled off.

The transoms all need repairing or replacing, and of course everything needs painting, too.
I despise pink...

Oh well. We'll definitely stay busy after we retire. I think we'll be looking for paint at clearance prices because we'll need way more paint than we'll have money. ;)

Hubby says there is a support under the sun room side of the house that he thinks needs replacing. That will be interesting. Not sure how we'll do that, though we have found a mill in Southern Louisiana that said they can cut it. The beam that's there now, if I remember right, is 12 feet by 10 inches by 10 inches. It's a BIG piece of wood. It might be 10 feet, but you get the idea. Will definitely need help for that.


Ah well. You all have a wonderful day and a great week! :-)
