On June 5th, Scott and I celebrated wedding anniversary #17. 💙 As is the norm for most summers, we celebrated our anniversary with our family vacation. We left Knoxville on June 4th headed for Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.
It was a much needed break from our real jobs and our weekend renovation project. We hadn't taken too many days off before this trip.
We left Nan and Pap with a list of things to work on while we were gone. I'm not sure if they asked for the list or if we just assumed they wanted one...but we left one nonetheless.
The work crew consisted of Nan, Pap and Robin over the next two weeks while we vacationed and then returned to our real jobs before we made it back to the Myrtle house. The good news is, Mom sent updates and pictures along the way!
Mostly, they sent work crew pictures. :)
Mom explained in the picture below that she had to take her hair down and put on some lipstick to go to Lowe's. She clearly needs more training on Lowe's trips.
Mom also sent me this picture with the message "Packed up, ready to carry lunch to the home place."
So while we were gone, she remained in charge of snacks. :)
They did do actual work. They completed everything on the list! Mom and Robin did an amazing job getting the woodwork clean. It was a big job. There is a ton of woodwork in the house and they did it all. It was ready for the primer paint when we arrived the following weekend. Pap replaced all the outlets and switches. He also fixed the bathroom door that leads to the backroom. It had to be taken down and cut. The flooring in the bathroom was installed with the door in place, so it didn't actually open. He cut the door so it opens now! He also reinstalled the door to Denny's room and the baseboards over the new wall in the dining room. It was a big week while we were gone.
The bathroom door removed
The bedroom door reinstalled
I am so thankful for this crew that has been a part of this journey with us. They've hung in there, even though sometimes the Project Lead can be picky. They kept the project moving forward while allowing Scott and I to have a week at the beach with our boys. I cannot thank them enough for everything they've done. 💜
