Taking a day...

Today I took the day off. It feels good to have a day in the home stretch to finish all the painting that needs to be done. Wednesday night I painted all but two windows, and with second coats today they will be complete. Then, on to the cabinets. I don't want to move in without them painted. We will be making the butcher block counter top at a later date, but at least the cabinets will look nice.

J will finish sanding the floors and will lay the living room hardwood tomorrow. The we stain the old floor and for two to three nights we swing by an lay a coat of clear poly on top. I am confident they will look amazing. And then, we begin moving in next weekend, once the floors have had some days to cure.

We decided to take the plunge and buy the tractor. We will wait until we pay for everything else. We came out of the remodel with only really owing the mortgage. What a relief. We will eventually be the owners of a beautiful Massey Ferguson.

I also will be heading to the nursery to buy a couple seedling heat mats. This year I am going to take seeding real serious and do it right. At least I will try like hell. We also put the tree order on hold in an effort to look for some reasonably priced larger trees to start the wind break. Otherwise we won't have any substantial size to the trees for several years, if purchased through the forest dept. We will get some from them as well, like the fruit shrubs.

Well, off to run some quick errands and then up to the farm. Feels good.
