It seems like it’s time for our monthly state of the house address, and this is a great day to write it because we have officially passed the dreaded blower door test (!!!) and this gives us more relief than a whole package of Rolaids. We only found out about the blower test a month ago—that’s a year and a half into building. Basically, they put a giant fan in one exterior door and try to suck all the air out of your house. They want it to be airtight so the heating and cooling are more energy-efficient, which is really none of their dadgum business, but this is the new code. I feel like my utility bills are my own problem and also airtight houses grow mold.
Mice don’t bother me as much as that black snake. God and I talk every time I go weeding. So far I have never run in to one. God keeps HIS promises. Thanks for catching us up to date. I know everyone asks so I don’t want a repeat. It is going to be so wonderful when you finally get in. Things dreams are made of. When I was ask what I really wanted in our new house, I told the builder I wanted a silent garage door. Where we lived before when the door rose, it sounded like a garbage disposal. I got my quiet garage door. Sometimes it is the simple things.
I understand you gave Joan a big friendly hug Sunday thinking it was me.LOL. We do look a lot alike. But I missed my hug.
Thanks for the mice catching advice. We are in the midst of the “War against the Rodents” over here! Every year.....changing of the seasons......the pesky little critters decide to take up residence. They can be SO destructive.
Thanks for the update!! I was wondering where you are at in the process. I’ll update shane too! Let us know if y’all need anything. You’re such a great writer too, I got a few laughs in that. Blessings upon blessings. Thankful our hope isn’t in objects or possessions but Christ alone.
Absolutely fascinating, and a profound cautionary tale. 😅

Haha! I came up behind her and ran right in for a hug! That's ok, hugs are never wasted!

I hope Steve and Harold are paying attention!
Harolyn. Stupid machine.
