Keep talkin' sis...it does help. :-)
Despite a few sad times, these past ten years in Oklahoma have been the happiest of my life...my entire life.
But I really would like that bit of land...which may even mean going somewhere else to make a slew of money so we can come back to Oklahoma and buy it someday!
Join me in a cup of coffee? I'm taking a break from packing. Still trying to clear out the dining room where we stashed stuff from the rest of the house while working in the other parts. We're gonna start on the kitchen in the next week. We were going to tile the floor this week, but when we pulled up the vinyl, we discovered some damage to the subfloor because the carpenters didn't install the sliding door properly, and water has been seeping in for 18 years! So, as in all things remodeling, we changed course slightly. We're taking out the sliding door, which SirKit hated anyway, and we're going to put two double hung windows mulled together on two thirds of the wall, then a glass exterior door on the other third. So the whole back (East) wall will be essentially glass, and there will be an awesome view out the back, even better than it was before with just the 6' sliding door. But now we have to wait for this cold snap to pass so we can do that. Fortunately, Lowe's has the windows and door in stock, so we can pick them up anytime. After we install those, we're going to put some electric heating cables on top of the cement backerboard, then tile over that. Now I won't have to work on a cold AND hard floor in the kitchen; just a hard one. ;o)
It's a lot of work, but it's gonna pay off for us when we go to sell the house.
It's going to take a lot of money to buy Oklahoma.
