This "New" Old Open House

I'm starting to get all settled in and the house is pretty well finished. There are a few little projects I need to do but that can wait until winter. I just want to thank everybody that has followed this blog for the past few months and giving me the support you have. It's always so nice to hear somebody tell you how good your house looks. I just want to invite everybody to the Open House that I will be having. It will be on September 10th, starting at 2 pm. I plan on having snacks and beverages in the afternoon. If you want to wait around and come out later, that would be fine too. There will be grilling later in the evening, a small bonfire, and you are more than welcome to bring your own drinks. So I hope all of you can make it. If you can't and you would like to see the house, just get ahold of me and I would love to show you around. If you need directions, don't be afraid to holler. I will admit that I'm out in the middle of nowhere but I am centrally located and easy to get to. I hope to see everybody in a couple of weeks! Have a good week and enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Moving time!!

Slowly but surely I am getting moved in. It seems like I'm making 10 trips to Mom and Dad's and back each day. It's been fun though. I'm sure my parents love it because I'm uncluttering their basement. It's almost like I'm moving away to school again.

I also decided to paint my porch railing and floor last week. My railing was looking alittle rough so this coat of paint will help preserve it. I think it turned out very nice.

I also got a couple of my most prized possesions moved to the porch as well. My parents got me some windchimes for my birthday last year. They are the most beautiful sounding things ever!! I also have the glider that my Great Grandpa Sullivan made. This glider means alot to my family because we all have memories of sitting on it with Grandpa on his porch and watching trains go by. I bought it at his estate auction and there isn't any price I wouldn't pay for it. I have a feeling this thing will get plenty more sittings from now on.

And one last thing...I stained my inside railing. Check 'er out...

Until next time...
