Comments on: Carpet, going, going … http://pastoralfarms.us/2003/05/05/carpet-going-going/ A Weblog Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:49:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tamara http://pastoralfarms.us/2003/05/05/carpet-going-going/comment-page-1/#comment-13 Tamara Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.pastoralfarms.us/archives/2003/05/05/carpet-going-going/#comment-13 Marysue, This so describes our situation over the last few years. We too are remodeling ourselves, have an unfinished basement, have been living on subflooring in most of the house, need to wire, put up trim, and the list goes on. I empathize. Like you too, I enjoy it and the time spent working w/ my dh is a blessing...just wish we had all the energy, time and money in the world to get it done faster because the chaos it creates (sometimes) gets to me. That and it's hard to be completely hospitable when you are in the middle of a "tear-up." Is it just us or do the holidays and unexpected visitors show up for you also when you are in the midst of a particularly messy project?! LOL Tamara (AK) Marysue,

We actually don't have many visitors, hardly ever, and surely the only unexpected people at the door are selling something, or trying to convert someone ... ;) Other than that, if we do have someone coming over, it's a big deal to get things in order. We aren't too organized ever, what is organization anyhow? Our family all live far away, blessing and curse. And we, just to say it plain, are in the boonies, that's how people envision where we live. It's really not that bad, but for those that drive 10 miles and think that's far from home, well, that does put us in the boonies! When it all gets to me is when a lot gets done. How's that?!!! Ah, the time, money, money, money, to get it all done!
