There's always one more project...

So tonight Mom and Dad are flying in from Idaho. This marks the end of a long week of preparations. I am not one for letting many people over to my house, let alone stay in it for fear they will see firsthand my lack of tidying. So I have been worried about just getting the house clean before the arrival of the parents. Ammon however, decided Friday night to go look at flooring at the Home Depot. We were up until after 4 am just doing the first room. So while we were at it, we ended up flooring the sitting and family rooms and we painted the family room too. It turned out beautifully, but we were quite sleep deprived this past weekend. So then yesterday, I asked if we could buy a utility table to give me some temporary counter space (kitchen still not done) so I could cook easier. Well, he saw the table was $40 and said, "I can make you a counter top for less than that." And so he went out at 7:00 and got the supplies and made a huge and very sturdy workspace for me. Now it looks more like a workbench from a garage than a counter top since it is made of plywood, but the extra space is wonderful! There's always more to be done but I guess we should have guests more often as we've done more in 5 days than we would usuallly get done in 5 months.
