Monday's work done

The bathroom floor is done---well, except for the tiling. We can live with pressure-treated plywood and plastic for a bit. I'll tell you, the rot under the floor was extensive, and it's only the Lord who kept if from caving in. Truly. I think of us taking baths, filling that tub and the lack of support in the middle of the floor----well, it was practically all gone.

God's timing. So cool. We had the money at the time when the fixing of it was desperate, but the Lord took care of us through it all, even before we knew how bad the floor actually was.

And, to add to that blessing, Gary got the approval for two jobs today. One an elaborate headboard, and the other of a custom-made table and eight (count 'em) eight chairs. Whoa. The barn is definitely moving to being overflowing. When Gary told me about the table and chairs bid being approved today, all I could do was gasp. Sometimes blessings are a bit out of my comfort zone. I'm good at hardship, but this is wild. Just amazing.

Must go to bed now. We're bushed. Not much sleep with anticipating the bathroom work, and everyone (the boys and Gary) are pooped. Thanks to our friend of a neighbor who had all the expertise. Without him, we would've been lost. So grateful. :)
