Saturday morning started off a bit rough. Kenny cut his big toe open on his right foot Friday night and after attempting to get up and work he finally agreed to take the bandaids off and let me look at it. One look told me that he needed to go to the doctor. So we left dad working and went over to the urgent care place to have his toe looked at. The doctor got him taken care of pretty fast and then we went back to the house. Kenny could barely walk on his foot, so he wasn't much help for dad. While we were gone, dad was able to get the siding back on the house in the back where they replaced the den windows. He also started trimming out the bar opening on both the kitchen and den sides. We wrapped Saturday up earlier than usual so everyone could go to the Fuller Family Cookout. Unfortunately, Kenny was in so much pain that he just wanted to go home (to Winder) and prop his foot up. So we enjoyed a nice evening at home.
Sunday we headed over to the house and gave mom her present. Whit, Kenny and I all went in and got her a new camera. I think she was pretty excited about it! Now I'll just have to teach her how to use it. :-) After opening her gift, we went up to the house to work. We got a lot done on Sunday and I am very grateful that mom was willing to work all day on Mother's Day. I worked on painting the baseboards and quarter round in the office and the dining room. Those two rooms are now 100% done other than some touch up painting and cleaning the floors good from all the sheetrock dust. Kenny stepped up and took the place of "sheetrock man" this weekend and worked on a lot of different areas in the house. Dad trimmed out the windows in the den and the window in our master bathroom. Then he trimmed out the door going from the den to the kitchen. It looks so good and I can't wait to see it all caulked and painted!!!! Since Kenny was still in a lot of pain, we sent him to mow the yard since he could just sit and not be on his foot. The yard is really starting to green up and look a lot better than it did. I really wish we had more time for landscaping, but right now we only have time to work inside the house. While Kenny was mowing, mom worked on getting our master bath 100% ready for the cabinets. Kenny had done some sheetrock work in there before going out to mow and he also removed his vanity so mom worked on cleaning it up and painting the trim and beadboard. The bathroom is now ready. After wrapping up the day, we went back to mom and dad's house and enjoyed a wonderful steak dinner. Nanette came out to join us for dinner and I was so excited to get to show her the newest changes in the house.
The next big thing that will happen will be the cabinets coming in! I cannot wait! They are being delivered tomorrow and will be installed on Wednesday! Then we have our countertop guy coming out to measure on Thursday. It is all coming together and I can't wait to see the cabinets in the house. It will really start feeling more complete to have them.
Thanks again to dad and mom for all your help this weekend!
