Blessings in Gods Timing

Believe it or not, we are still in the process of renovating the condo we bought in December.

We’ve torn down part of a wall, reframed the closet, sheetrock, drywall, retexture, etc.
Lots and lots of putty, spackle, sanding, caulking, and painting later… we are in the process of having closet organizer and laundry room shelving put in and some of the trim updated with a craftsman style for the tops of the doors. More painting to come and then carpet. I have stopped putting a time-frame on it because it keeps being changed/updated. Doing everything with cash on hand, negotiating and trading favors so it is coming along slowly. But at least we aren’t going into debt any deeper in the process.
Jonathan has been under a lot of stress from work and I'm sure renovating doesn’t make it better…so he has developed a few blood clots for no known reason and we are sitting in March now with a nearly empty Healthcare Savings Account (HSA), we’ve fully met our deductible for health insurance and the ER hasn’t even billed us yet. But thanks to having gone through the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University a few years back, we still have our emergency fund to fall back on.
So we are taking baby steps and I’m not pushing it on the time-frame. Occasionally friends come and help us make some big hurdles on the place and Jonathan will play lifeguard/babysitter at the pool while the parents work with me. That indoor pool has been such a blessing!
We’ll let you know when it’s all finished and you can come take a “tour”. ;)
