May Summary

Another month is over, but we're making some progress. Slowly.

* Upstairs bath tub door installed.
* New stove installed.
* Living room furniture somewhat arranged.
* Belongings from old house slowly moving over and being unpacked.
* Iris bed cleared out.
* Auction items sorted and repacked. (Thanks Betty!)
* Most of house cleaned and ready to be moved into.
* Most furniture pieces from auction have been cleaned and moved into appropriate locations around house.


And here is what we hope to accomplish in June.

* Install downstairs bath tub door.
* Install door to basement stairs.
* Clean off remaining furniture from auction, which is currently being stored in garage and china room.
* Move more auction and previously owned furniture into rooms, arranging according to maps.
* Clear out and clean china room, which is still crammed full of stuff and isn’t ready to have stuff moved into it yet.
* Move remaining items from old house into new house.
* Move over swing set, sand box, and small pool.
* Fill holes where dirt on new water line settled in the rain. Holes have multiplied in the last month, darn it.
* Weed garden beds, which no longer look nice and neat. Or like gardens, really.
* Decide which appliances to keep from the old house, and where to store them.
* Clear out corn husks from metal shed.
* Fix roof on metal shed.
* Make landscaping plans for new trees and bushes to plant. Will require input from uncle who uses out buildings and winters cows in the pasture.
* Maybe move in?
* Maybe put old house up for sale?






Despite a few distractions, we made some more progress. Keep thinking of us, please, and sending us some good energy! Maybe at the end of June, the "finished" list will actually be longer than the "to do" list!
