On Monday, the carpet layer came and laid our new carpet.   That has made such a difference! We have our home back now – more or less.  I got to unpack our new suite at long last, and more importantly, we had somewhere to SIT!  I can’t describe what a struggle it’s been over […]

We’re into our 5th week of upheaval but it feels alot longer than that! The work surface was installed yesterday and although it might look uninteresting and boring to everyone else, bar us, we’re tickled pink because it signifies that we’re on the home straight and nearing completion.
