Reflections on Smelly House

Because E4H (my HEART to greater loyalty) recently reflected on his 100 posts, I too, shall reflect on Smelly House:

• The hardest thing to believe is that we have been “in” for only 17 days. The first seven days were spent cleaning and packing RN’s belongings. On the 9th, we closed on Smelly House. That is only 10 days! 10 days to a completely different house.
• So different, in fact, that Sun has decreed that we are no longer allowed to call it Smelly House. He suggested that we name it “Smells Really, Really, Good House”. We compromised with “Little House”, as it is the name of one of his favorite books.
• All of the bedrooms are painted (touch-ups needed in the mint coloured room), the living room and hallway are painted (ceiling touch-ups needed), The bathroom floor is ripped up, and the windows have been cleaned (on the inside).
• Polly is mudding the unfinished closets - yes, in 55 years, no one got around to finishing those.

My thanks go out to:

Mo, Wonderland, and Gandalf – My absolutely unflappable catering/painting/cleaning/demo crew.

Polly Anna – thusly named because he seems to live in "Glad Town" where everything is lollypops and gumdrops - not because he is a little girl.

Below are some recent photos of the newly painted living room.
