School supplies? Check.
Lunches bought? Check.
Staff prepared? Um, check?
Stomach virus out of the way so I won't have it on the first day of school? Check.
Can't wait till Monday!

Labor of love
So, you know how on Trading Spaces, it is always mere seconds before time is up that they slap the final coat of paint on the baseboards?
"Ten more minutes before the Jones's come see their new house! Are we going to be ready? I DON'T KNOW!!!!"
And the viewers are on the edge of their seats waiting...
Well, that is sort of the effect we are going for with The Helping House.
Between the air conditioner installing, electric rewiring, ceiling painting, kitchen re-cabineting, curtain making, driveway laying, landscaping, exterior painting, floor laying, window replacing, sign posting and azalea relocating, we are pretty busy.
But I am sure, by the skin of our very teeth, we will finish by the 25th.
Even if the kids can't touch the baseboards on the first day of school.

Group effort
We had such a great turnout at our workday, and we got so much done! The front yard is completely relandscaped, a sidewalk was removed, and stepping stones were placed. Flowerbeds were made in the front yard, planted, and mulched. The outside of the house was washed to get ready for painting.
Inside, the bathrooms got scrubbed, ceiling fans got cleaned, curtains were taken down, and the kitchen cabinets were sanded to get ready for painting.
Thank you to all those who stopped by and gave up time on their Saturday: Ronny, DeAnn, Jan, Mitchie, and Judy. Thanks most of all to Eleonore, Glen, Daniel and Manuel who spent the whole day working on The Helping House! We love you and owe you a Zest-E-Burger or two!
I don't have "after" pictures yet, but check back! We'll have some soon!
