So we spent a few days in Gainesville but the weather was kind of dreary and rain-filled. Some good sun but rain most days for at least a little bit. Went tubing in Helen (in the rain) and did some fishing on the dock (Wendy caught this catfish's brother and a perch) before packing up and getting back to the house.
Once there we saw the color up inside and out. Looks good but have some tweaks to work out with painting outside original windows and side porch. Lou came and put in most of the lights, plugs, and fans on Wednesday. Mike, and
Lorenzo, came in and got bathroom plumbing hooked up as well (though shower needs some sort of adjustment). On Friday, gutter guys came in the a.m. and knocked them out in just an hour or so. Our shower door came around lunchtime and got installed (though Wendy thinks it may need to be adjusted). Danny came with his helper and got the thermostat in and the HVAC operational. Needless to say, Friday was quite busy and productive. In just a few short days the upstairs took on a very finished look and feel. I'm still working on Wendy's medicine cabinet but hope to finish when I get back.
"Get back?" you say. Yes, get back. Right now I'm writing from New Orleans. Since Wendy has to start back to work on Wednesday, and the lake was so rainy last week, we thought we'd squeeze in one official Vite! Vite! Vacation (Quick, Quick in French). Left Friday afternoon and drove to Pascagoula, MS where we slept and dipped our toes in the Gulf (not as beachy as I'd hoped and the weather was once again rainy). Saturday morning we drove to the Best Western St. Christopher on Magazine Street and began our whirlwind tour of New Orleans. Now we've definitely finished with
vacation. We get back Monday and focus on finishing the house and begin preparations for a new school year.
