The days are getting too be too many to count. We are loosing track, especially since there are not pictures for each day. We think we are now on day 16, we hope. Our backs are sore, our brains are tired but we keep plugging on. Moving day is only a week away.
On day 14 we conditioned the old wood floors after work. Or as one friend likes to say, we gave the wood lotion :-) After drying all day on Friday, Julie and Jerry came over for an inspection and showed we Jill and Paul around for the first time. Then it was time to go out to eat some good seafood at the new Anthony's and watch the Red Sox successfully beat the Yankee's. Yahoo! Then we came home and applied our first coat of urethane. We finished up around 10:30 pm. Needless to say we slept well last night.

We got 3 coats of urethane on the old wood floors. Only 1 or 2 more to go. They are starting to look really nice.
In between waiting for the urethane to dry we started on the new wood floors upstairs in our bedroom. They are looking REALLY sharp! Each board needs to be glued and pounded into place. It is a slow process but very satisfying to see it come together.Tomorrow we hope to get the last of the coats on the old floors done and hopefully our bedroom. Next week will include gardening, packing, and getting ready for the big move.
Back on day 10 we went to our first Mariner's game! They won! Thanks NW mom and dad for our 16 games!!!

Hey now! Those floors are looking good! Upstairs and down. I'm impressed.
AWESOME!! I'M IMPRESSED TOO!! YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY TO GET SETTLED IN AND ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR!
Looks fantastic, can't wait to see it all furnished and finished. And you even had a chance to watch and listen to the Red Sox sweep the Yankees. How does the garden grow? New things showing up, and are you ready for the chickens?
The garden is getting the short shrift at the moment. We still haven't transplanted the garlic, raspberries, or blueberries. Maybe early next week.
I haven't even started on the coop yet. That will have to get in gear next week, as well. Time is running out!
