OMG, so much is happening around here, LOL.  OK, well I told you my DH took a new job and that we might be moving... looks like that is becoming more definite, as we put an offer in on a house out there!  We'll know this week if all conditions are waived, and the sale is final, so fingers crossed and say a prayer, (GBG).

But that means we have to get this house in shape, so I've hired a couple guys to do some of the jobs Bill never got a chance to finish... so far they have added a layer of wood to the library stairs (to raise them the same thickness as the floor), and once they finish adding some side pieces, I'll do the same laminate flooring as the library, all the way up the stairs, with L-shaped rubber guards on the front edge, so they aren't slippery.  I did the stairs at the rental property we sold in December the same way, and it looks kind of neat.

We had some gorgeous days, so I had them cut that melamine covered sheet board pieces that we need for several projects - the 'corral' for the fridge; 2 pantries for the laundry room; the half-wall in the kitchen; the top of the bookshelf railing on the balcony... and they've already got one of the laundry room pantries assembled!

I want to use up the leftover laminate flooring I have, and finish the bedrooms upstairs, with a high-end look.  I don't have enough of the lighter wood to do either room completely ... but I have a whole lot of a contrasting dark wood, and I think I can do a border around both bedrooms, and fill the laminate in the middle, which will look very good, if I do a good job, LOL.  I'm hoping there's enough of the dark wood to do the floor of the walk-in closet as well, so fingers crossed!

But all that will have to wait until I get back home, as I am set to head out to BC in a week or so, and spend some time with my sweetie - and see our new home, and check out the area where we'll be living!  Bill's been back in BC since a couple days after Christmas, and even though we talk several times a day, it's not the same as being together, so I'm quite looking forward to our visit.  Come back next  month, and I'll let you know if we got the house for sure (wink).  Have a great year until then... and happy stitching!
