Since Monday

Kevin built the steps leading down from the “old” living room into the “new” living room.  He has also installed the floor.  It really looks pretty.  Renea and I were his gophers.  What a job!  The next day I cleaned the windows and the door in the addition.  Tuesday we went back to Lowe’s and bought the molding, paint for the molding, and more lumber to finish the area between the old and new rooms along with the framing for the windows. 
 

Kevin also finished installed the ceiling fan (with lights), the switches and outlets.  We now have electric in the addition.  This was a little scary since Kevin will be the first to tell you that he is not comfortable doing electric work.  Brian had run the electric when he was here, but Kevin had to finish the hookups.
 

I have finished my fall cleaning except the bedroom.  That is going to have to wait until next week since I am getting ready to leave on my fall trip with the Prime Timers (the senior group from church).  We are going to Townsend, TN, from Friday until Monday.  Kevin and Renea will be taking care of my house.  Hopefully, they will get a little more work accomplished.
 

Renea is going to have a yard sale while I am gone, so I have been getting a few items together for her.  I think she is going to rent a booth at the Lee County Flea Market.  We just don’t get enough traffic here to have it in our yards. 
 

Yesterday I spent a good part of the day doing some shopping for my trip.  Today was laundry and packing.  I’m just about ready to get on the road, and I am really looking forward to the trip.  Will report on my return.

I hope the shutdown did not impact your trip to the Great Smoky Mtn. Area. I would hate to have to bail you out of jail! I am sure plans were made to avoid the park. There is pkenty other stuff to see and the government can't hide God's beautiful trees.
