They will be doing the final cleaning this week. WOO! HOO! How can I get them to keep coming back weekly? I know, I know......$$$$$$ is how. So, we have a key and we've already had mail delivered at our new address.
Here are a couple shots of the inside. After the final cleaning inside and out, I will show you the finished house.
Refrigerators, washer and dryer not in yet. Yikes! The dust is still on the island lights.
This is the cool ceiling in the office. This is reclaimed, weathered and slightly rusty tin roofing from an old barn that has been stamped. They put it on the ceiling and then laquered it.
We got home at 6:00 last night and I immediately got into my jammies and went to bed at 8:00. The book I was reading started to drop out of my hand at 8:30 so I turned off the light. Tex came to bed after the football game so neither of us saw 1-1-11 come in. Dang!

We are going to have a New Year's Day dinner of grilled chicken breasts, baked sweet potato fries and Texas caviar......that's black eyed pea salad for good luck.
After dinner we will crack open the bottle of champagne (one day late) as we celebrate TCU's win over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. HARDEE-HAR-HAR-YEAH-RIGHT! A girl can dream, can't she?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Nervous Nellie
Maybe this is your year - right now TCU is a winning!! (Of course, Missouri was winning at one point during the Insight Bowl and look how THAT turned out.)
ReplyDeleteOh, house looking good! Love the ceiling!!
HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!! TCU won against WISCONSIN. Even Tex, the Wisconsin alum, loved the game. Maybe this is the year Nellie will shed the Nervous. Do ya think? Nah.
ReplyDeleteBoo Hoo on the Missouri game and Yippee Hoo on the TCU game!!! Nellie, I thought perhaps one of Tex's surprise Christmas gifts to you was a year or two or three of maid service!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Marwat, I was thinking that a visit 4 times a year from the Missouri sister to do the windows and deep clean might be the solution!
ReplyDeleteWell shoot...........build a brand new home and "Texas hospitality" goes right out the window!!! I say fire up that brand spankin' new sweeper and "show me" how it works. Ya know, I'm from Missouri!!
