Vacation......yea, right

This week both Dan and I are on vacation.  Instead of going somewhere and doing fun things, we are at our new house working our tushies off. We start around 9 am and finish around 4 pm.

 Dans working on the walls.  He had to pull off the dated paneling, knock down walls and closets, and get all the wiring out from the rooms.  It's very stressful and hard work and is taking him all week to get it finished.  I would help but I just get in the way.

My jobs are to mow the lawn, water our new garden we put in last week with the help of my parents, and take down the back splash in the kitchen.  Now that sucks.  I have to use a crowbar and hammer at weird angles and chip off the small tiles.  My arms and hands are so sore.

We are slowly fixing the house.  We still have a long way to get it how we want it.  My parents are putting a lot pressure on us to get stuff done, but the things we are doing are long, hard, and time consuming.  We can only exhaust ourselves for so long.  It's not like we are sitting around doing nothing..........
