A
final push?
After
Chris retired in March 2011, we decided to put our efforts into
getting the house done so we could actually enjoy it. A three-month
trip early in 2012 resulted in getting the insulation and sheetrock
done, so now the house really looks like a house. This was the
beginning of what we expect to be a "final push" early
next year. We also brought the dogs on
this trip—their first time here. We actually drove across
country with them, an experience in itself!
