Ok I am really trying to figure out this blog stuff. Trying to edit etc. is not my best quality sorry.. I hope you liked the pictures I will send more. As you can see from the few I sent there was a lot to do. Most walls and doors had holes in them. A few choice dead critters were found in the garage and attic. I am going to try to download a video of me cleaning it up. Hope it works!! there have been some lets say discouraging days but one day as I was feeling kind of down I was cleaning up Bob's truck and found this old piece of wood. I turned it over and there was a "Thought for the Day" It read....

No-one can choose your mountain
or tell you when to climb....
It's yours alone to challenge
at your own pace and time.

I really felt like this is what I am suppose to do and it gave me a lot of strenght to forge ahead. When Mike and I decided to do this we really felt like the house needed a new life kind of like being reborn. At night after we would tear apart walls and put lots of stuff in the dumpster I could hear the house make all kinds of noises it was like it was saying you are hurting me but I know it is for my own good. I have found so many spiritual analogies through my experience. anyway it is getting late so I will post a few more pictures and try to write more tomorrow.
