What a Mess....

Well we are in a little bit of craziness as of this weekend at the Roush's!! It's a thing that I've been dreading on for quit sometime!! The end of Last summer we got enough money from our insurance to fix our roof. We knew the roof needed help, but neither one of us knew the extent of the situation!! To put it mildly we where about to have our bedroom roof come crashing down on top of us (while sleeping). So it had to be fixed. We put new decking on, new shingles, and we had free labor!! Friends and Relatives help us out. But when we fixed the bedroom roof, there was also some damage done inside!! So we both have been putting off the chore of fixing the problem. As long as the roof wasn't coming down we could handle the cosmic part!!

So this weekend we took upon ourselves to clean everything out of the huge closet we have. And place around the house here and there!! My house is in such chaos, it's already driving me crazy. And it's only been the first full day of it. I know where the shoes, and pants, and shirt I have to wear tomorrow for work. But David, has no clue on where his things are!! So I guess, it will be a scavenger hunt in the morning. All the while Carson has loved the empty space. All he wants to do is run back and forth inside this huge closet of ours. I just hope it is all done in a couple of weeks.

So here is what we are planning on doing!! First of all, Sheetrock mud the crack places, and paint, ceiling and walls. Then David is going to put new trim up along the top and sides of the closet. We have lived in this house for about seven years now, and we have never touch the closet. We just washed the racks and walls of the closet to get moved in. Now that we have the money and option we are doing it correctly. The people that had the house before, where not carpenter's. There is nothing in our old house that is square!! So it causes conflict when repairing anything. I fell in love with our house because of the huge closet. It holds everything we ever wanted and then some. Right now since I decorate for weddings, it holds three totes of decorations. Plus our sound system, quilts, and seasonal decor for the house, plus our clothes. So it is a multitask closet!!

So we are working on the closet, finish that then put everything back in order. Then disassemble our bedroom, so that we can fix the bedroom problem. Like I said it has been a task I have been dreading for, for a long time. So wish us luck, because the Roush's have a big mess upon us right now!!!
