It's been a long, strange week. Monday we finally made it to our house. It was in rough shape. We had a huge (probably 50 foot) limb come down across our driveway and yard. We lost an entire tree in the backyard. We had dozens and dozens of other large and medium sized branches all over our yard and driveway. We spent Monday cutting and clearing. There is still a lot more to do but the driveway is at least clear now and our PODS can be delivered this week. Friday and Saturday we finished painting and did some clean up and it's starting to look a little more like a house on the inside as well. When the ice melted our flooring finally made it in and now that we have power back, our flooring work is scheduled to begin on Monday. There is still much to be done but once the flooring is in, we will move in (scheduled for Friday) and then keep working after we move in.
While we were working this week I mostly ignored my children, as I pretty much have since we started work on the house, and let them play out in the backyard and explore (yay for a backyard that they can do that in!!!). They decided to turn lemons into lemonade in the back corner where we lost our whole Japanese Maple. They used the stump and a fence board to make a teeter totter. Between the storm and my kids, my beautiful yard isn't looking so beautiful right now but the kids are having fun and I am able to get some work done so I would call it a win!
