So great news … Our house sold on day 6 which was perfect timing because Todd came down with some horrible virus. We cancelled the scheduled open house and Todd was bedridden for days! So time to move for real and we did not have the Ranch in any shape to live in it. But our friend who has a lawn company and who needed work, offered to help move the “big things” (I.e. Gun safe, compressor, tool chest).  So the scheduled day of that move I was sick.  That day went so well they decided to move everything. Unfortunately I was no where near ready to move but here we go. The guys did a great job and thanks to my sister, Kellie, Todd’s mom and friends Sue and Steph, we got a lot done in a half a day!! We ended up paying the guys less than 1/2 of the going rate for movers. Of course they didn’t pack or move the small things, but it was a great savings!

Despite our best efforts to clean the kitchen cabinets., there was no hope.

Both the inside and out were covered in grease and grime. So I decided they needed to be painted. It is amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do but again, a lot of work! In the midst of all this I still am not improving. My allergies and asthma have kicked in with a vengeance; worse than it has been in Years! So new meds an allergy shot and rescue inhaler later, I begin to think I’m allergic to the house. Todd installed this wonderful gizmo – an air scrubber!  I’m not sure what has done the trick but I can breathe again!!
