SIGNING ON THE DOTTED LINE

WEDNESDAY the Realtor came over to have us sign the contract with her around 4 in the afternoon to place our property for sell.  It just so happens to be that October 25th is the 7th anniversary of the horrible house fire we experienced in the rock house in 2016.  Though we still have some things we need to do before the public sees the house, we signed with her to market the house we recovered in after the devastating fire of 2016.  

Amazing.  Full steam ahead on this.  Onto making the COTTAGE our main residence.  We slept at the COTTAGE.  

I woke around 5 and couldn't go back to sleep.  Too geared up thinking about what to do next at the main house.  

It rained and the yard filled up with colorful leaves.  Thinking about bringing my house plants indoors on Friday.  A cold snap is coming through.  NOT READY FOR COLD WEATHER.  Here she comes ready or not.  

In the morning, I could hardly pick up my legs due to being so tired.  Muscle fatigue from long hours of being over active on the house projects.  We went for a hardy breakfast as to have energy for the day, but it didn't work for me as when I was stirring paint for the closet, I had my head bowed and my eyes closed as I was exhausted.  It might appear that I was praying, but I was trying to stay awake.  I did manage to touch up areas on the walls that needed some paint.  

As I dusted some of the baseboards in the Living room I about cried due to the draining fatigue. Working with long hours has made me quite tired to the point of feeling ruined.  Pacing myself met her match.

I managed to paint the Living room closet.  There is a bench inside this closet which I need to paint a dark color.  I didn't have it in me to paint it so I will paint later before the OPEN HOUSE. Thursday morning I will get up early and paint the Kitchen walls.  

Wednesday night we went over to Topeka to get some white Kitchen paint plus supplies. Thankfully there isn't that much to paint.  I will get this finished before the photographer comes at 4.  

Hubby worked extremely hard clearing boxes out of the basement, sweeping the floor and prepared to paint the basement floor.  He used special cleaner on the upstair's Bathroom faucet, toilet and tub drain.  Then he cleaned the Kitchen faucet.  All sparkle.  We are working quickly to get all the last minute details taken care of.

He will be unloading another trailer full of our things into storage and then there is more stuff to make another full load to haul.  STUFF galore.  The Basement is empty with the rest of the house.  The Carriage house just has a few more things to take away plus lawn furniture, Bar-B-Q grill, the coffee maker, some vitamins and a few items in the fridge.  The freezer needs emptied and that will be it.  Praise the LORD.  I was beginning to think we would never be at this place. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE COMING.            L O N G   T I M E. 

We have another very long and active day ahead of us.  
Praying for strength.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
