Paint, Tiles and Stairs, Oh My!

This weeks entry is being written by Jessica.

We arrived at Zelda late Friday night and began work Saturday morning. Due to over exhaustion last week "Inspector Cookie" took the weekend off and let us work without peering over our shoulders. Dad tackled the bathtub and did a beautiful job tiling it.

Mom, Jennifer and I were hard at work painting. Mom did touch ups on the staircase and ran errands for more tile. Jennifer and I painted the Murphy Room with the color it should have been at last. We also repainted the hallway since it was in need of another coat.

The work crew replaced the stairs on the back door and they look great. The plan is to stain them this coming weekend. Our electrician showed up for his final job and accidentally dropped something inside the wall. My assistance was required for my compact mirror and then later my arm since it was small enough to fit into the hole and retrieve the item he had dropped.

On Sunday Dad finished tiling the tub while us girls cleaned Zelda until it sparkled. Our inspection is on Friday this week and we are hoping to get a checklist for what else needs to be done. We can't put it on the market until the final inspection is passed. We're all hoping that it is a short list. Keep your fingers crossed.

We will be arriving at Zelda late Thursday night or early Friday morning, this week.

Then finally at noon on Sunday.

The steps need the spindles attached and then "Inspector Cookie" will take a look.
