Help I’m stepping into the Twilight Zone

We moved here for a few reasons, none of which we have even started because of this house. It feels like we have stepped into the Twilight Zone. Day after day we just work on the house. We work slowly and don't get as much done in a day as I had hoped. We have been working for 2 months and I had no idea we would still be mudding, painting and flooring for the entire winter. It has been record breaking cold here, so each day is work on the house and  look at the snow, work on the house and look at the snow.......

The master bedroom is the last room to paint and we should be done painting this weekend. We had thought it would be done today, but it needed a little more TLC than the all the rest of the rooms. There were over 80 cracks, dings, divots and popped screws to repair. It is the last room, or back room, in a very long house and when it was moved, a few times, it bounced and wagged along behind. Anyone who has not picked up and moved their house will not understand how very little gyp-rock will flex.

The view out the living room window. 

We have been in this Twilight Zone for the most of the winter. However the cold weather is forecasted to end this weekend. Once the painting is done we only have to install the floor in the master and finish the painting the kitchen cupboards. The end is in sight. The cupboards will take a while as there are lots of them. With the weather warming we can work outside making sanding cupboards and cutting the floor sooo much easier and cleaner. 

I have taken a part time job in a local restaurant serving tables to help make some of the ends meet. Its fun and I am meeting some of our neighbours, but it too takes me away from the reasons we came here and it too feels a little like stepping into the Twilight Zone. 

I will be glad when this is house is done, spring is sprung and we have the studio up and running. It is coming......soon.... I won't miss this Twilight Zone once we are on the other side. 

Until next time.
