Notes - carpet to go then ready to show /

       Carol is taking a shower. Kim and Paul went to bed a short time ago, the boys about three hours ago. Carol still can't have 'solid' food. After working all morning the five of you had lunch at Two Cities as everyone wanted pizza in downtown Mason. More work in the afternoon. You didn't feel well so Kim, Paul, Owen and Brennan drove to the local Blue Ash Chili which they all loved; the original is still in Blue Ash across the street from where the old Blue Ash Elementary School was located when Carol first got her job with Sycamore Schools. A bit more work in the evening then relaxation with conversation while HGTV was on in the background, particularly the Gaines couple who are the family's personally favorite show on the channel. - Amorella

       2334 hours. The basement is clean and well organized . . . it looks huge. The office, kitchen, dining room, living room and family room are decluttered as is the master bath, Kim's old bedroom and the little bedroom where Kim and Paul sleep. I have only one electric outlet in the basement to change and it's done. Plus, a load goes to the street tomorrow for Monday's pickup. Basically, the house is ready for carpet which were are checking on this coming week then the house is ready to show. I cannot believe the amount of work it has taken four people to do over the last four weeks.

       You can return to more of a modified routine this next week. Taking out a couple pieces or so of furniture in each room makes a lot of difference, all stored neatly along the south wall in the basement. You had forgotten how large the basement actually is as it goes under the entire house which was bumped out two feet across the north and west sides and a bump out of about a foot and a half on the south side in and below the family room.
