Thursday (Day 21) - It sucked.
Spent the morning paying bills and working on the books (yuck!). After this we headed to Dave's shop to grab a few things. Long story short, we discovered some of his stuff had been stolen. And if that wasn't frustrating enough, his trucks that he keeps parked there until he gets time to work on them were being used as trash cans by some local kids that hang out up there. To avoid any other damage, we called a towing company to get them towed to our house and on the way home, the tow truck driver managed to crunch in the side of Dave's truck and blow out his tire. Handling this took the rest of the day and we didn't even get to go work. Yep, Thursday sucked...
Friday (Day 22) - I spent the day painting and caulking the bedrooms. Dave hung most of the new lights, sprayed the cabinet doors/drawers again, and started the texture treatment in the hall bath. One of our close friends showed up for a brief chat...it was a nice break! Overall very productive day!
Saturday (Day 23) - Today we started out at The Beauty mowing, edging, and cleaning up the yard. We had 1 young couple who are currently renting come check out the house - but we are figuring they probably aren't ready to buy right now. Up to 7 showings now...
After this we headed to our Challenge. We painted the master bedroom and Dave hung the new ceiling fan as well as continued working on texturing the hall bathroom walls. Got a bit of a start in the master bath before calling it a night...
Tomorrow is technically the "last" day of our 24 Day Challenge...my wonderfully encouraging Mom pointed out that there were a couple days over the past few weeks that we weren't able to go to our Challenge for one reason or another so these shouldn't count against us. I'm in agreement! :))) Regardless, we are hustling as fast as we can and will continue to push until she's done! Windows should arrive on Tuesday and carpet installed (hopefully) in the early part of the week...
