This week and last has been truly amazing on the house progress! I am excited to say the water and drains are all now hooked up, except for the kitchen because we don't have the cabinets yet. They should be here Thursday or first of the week.
The new furniture is here and it looks spectacular in the living room. We are so happy about that! The vertical blinds are hung in the living room and it looks nice.
Today the flooring guys are coming back to lay the kitchen floor. I can't wait for that! I am EXCITED to see it with my white walls. It will help pull my kitchen vision together! Jamie is also going to put in the new replacement doors today. This will change the looks of the house tremendously. After today there are a few minor things that need done, and then it's coming to next weeks MOVING in time!
The plan is to re-do all the wood floors, and bath tub Friday, close up and lock up the house for the weekend. Monday we will come in and finish up cleaning, and then start moving in. Hopefully the kitchen gets pulled together by the end of the week and hopefully the appliances are hooked up on Thursday as planned.
My grandma Trone might be coming to stay with us, she doesn't want to go to a home, so she will be needing a ramp into the house that the guys are going to build next week once we iron out all the details with when and if she's coming to stay. I guess some people have a problem with her coming to stay with us, so we will see what happens. I personally think that the only thing that matters is what Grandma WANTS. She's an adult and she can make up her own mind, but whatever. Nobody else seems to be offering to take care of her, and she gets very few visitors now in Carthage, I can't imagine her getting more visitors if she gets shipped off to a nursing home out of town. She's very upset and lonely now in the hospital. I feel badly for her, because if anyone could understand, I do about staying DAYS and WEEKS and WEEKS away from home in a hospital. It sucks. It's depressing, and very miserable, but some people just don't get it. Grandma just cries and cries cause she's miserable and I just want to make her happy, so we will do whatever it takes to make her happy. I know this will be a HUGE responsibility to take on, but it's only temporary and she's determined to get HOME to her own home, so hopefully she will work as hard as she can with therapy and get there. It's funny how nobody else is stepping up to the plate and offering her a place to stay, but they can all seem to talk badly about the choices she's making, but don't seem to want to do anything for her but ship her off to a home where she DOES NOT want to go. Funny too how nobody even took the time to ask her what she WANTS? She's able minded enough to make her own choices, which is something that needs to be taken into consideration. My heart just breaks for her right now, cause she would be happy just staying at Carthage hospital, but for some reason they won't keep her there on swing bed without daily aggressive therapy. It's a horrible mess and I just wish for her sake that none of this would have ever happened. My grandma is one of the strongest women I know and I hate to see her cry and hate to see her upset about going to a Nursing home. I'm afraid if they ship her off to a home she will just roll over and give up. It's NOT where she wants to be. Don't sugar coat it. Who in their right mind would want to go to a nursing home? Would YOU? It's different when a person has dementia and can't care for themselves, but she's at a point where she can still care for herself with a bit of assistance. I just wish she could stay where she is until she goes home, but unless something changes I doubt that will happen.
I am soooo ready to start packing up our crap this weekend and get things going with this move. Now that things are looking fantastic at the new house I want to be living there today!!!! It's all so exciting! Every day is a new adventure around here for sure!
