Have you ever heard the expression, "The faster I go, the behinder I get!"? I think it is supposed to mean that when you do things in a hurry, you are apt to make mistakes and have to go back and correct them. Whereas if you do things at a "normal" pace, you might not make any mistakes and will get done in better time.Well, that definition is not the one I am looking for. Ours is the more we repair in this house and the faster we work, the more repairs need to be done. It is one thing after another and in some instances more than one at once.
The good news is the den door is done. Now the "public" bathroom sink drain has new pipes. Our neighbor, my sister, and my wonderful husband get credit for the last project. We still have a leak in the basement that will require some outside digging - - - and now a kitchen overhead light fixture to replace. It sounds like a green Christmas for the hardware stores and some more manpower on our part. We are ready to finish with repairs so we can move on to some face-lift stuff - - - like painting walls!
Praise God for the energy to do this and pray it holds out a few more years until we finish it all.

Being a home owner is a never ending process. Just when one project is done, another pops up. For 25 years we have been upgrading our home. It never ends. God is indeed good and He always manages to help us through those tough times when we feel like we are sinking. Merry Christmas my friend. I hope you enjoy the holiday and all that it offers.
Being a home owner, is a big responsibility for sure. There seems to always be things that needs fixed or replaced.
