Getting There, but Not Quite Done

The basement isn't done yet, but we are at a stand still with finishing the work. The last rain storm dumped several inches of rain on us in a little over half a day and it ended up seeping into the basement from behind the drywall. While it wasn't much, we want to make sure the problem is fixed before we put more money into walls and flooring. So for the time being, the floor and walls will remain as they are. 

Yesterday, Al and I took three of the beds and mattresses to the basement, and the fourth was put in Caleb's room. (Originally, they were two bunkbeds, but we disassembled them.)

There are still a few areas we need to put up drywall, and the ceiling needs to be finished.  However, in the current condition, it is completely livable.  (I forgot to mention that the bathroom downstairs is also in working condition despite the lack of flooring and wall panels.

While we have a guest room in the detached garage, we knew we needed one to be handicapped accessible. It has been a long time coming, but things are finally coming together. 

While the room is decently sized, the layout is absolutely difficult to arrange furniture in.   I am trying to fit two beds in here but with the door and the closet, they won't fit but one way.   

Once the girls get all of their things out, then the room can be completed.  I want to be able to put the old vanity into the room, but am not sure it will fit at this point. 

This dresser is too large for the room, so it will be move into the master bedroom for Al's clothes. There is a small dresser in the master closet which will come in here. 

The sewing desk and bookshelf from the master bedroom will come into the guest room as well. I had hoped to be able to put the vintage phone table in there, but it will have to go somewhere else. I can't leave tables and desks throughout the house because they end up covered in clutter. (And not because of me.)

This morning, I headed out to the local medical clinic for my wellness visit and annual blood draw.  Meanwhile, Al and a friend, worked together to put additional insulation in the attic.  

I was able to head to Batesville (ALONE), grabbed a coffee at Nova Joes, and headed to Bethesda to pick up some anti-biotic injections for my goat, which was dropped at a friend's house.  (How is that for a really long sentence?)  Then I went to Kroger for a few groceries, but ended up buying over $200 worth of food.   

After I got home, we ate as small snack for lunch and Al went to Searcy with the last cat, Bob-O Camo Skinny Jeans.  (Okay, the name needs an explanation: Bob is his name.  He can hide really well, and he is a thin cat.) He also had to return the machine to Lowes.  (That one machine that blows insulation into an attic.)

The weather was quite warm yesterday, but we have cold temps right now.  The "feels like" is below freezing and the wind is blowing pretty well.  This constant fluctuation is crazy, but I won't complain because we could be in Wyoming or Montana where the weather is below zero many days out of the winter.  NO THANKYOU!

Well, That is about it.  I hope you all stay safe as this storm system moves through.  I know there have been some tornadoes and extensive damage.  Prayers go out to all involved.  Stay safe!  Stay warm!  

Oh, and no baby sheep or goats at this point.
