Getting Excited About Sitting Back And Enjoying Our Efforts

I am just taking five minutes from painting and laying floor boards. I have well and truly had enough of painting but it still needs to be done. I have helped Dave lay the floor boards in the lounge and spare room, but he has done most of the laying in the rest of the house. We have worked our back sides off this last few days. I have worked out that I have done around twelve full days of painting. I have had the last week off from work to complete it, however we are not finished. All the walls and ceilings are painted, some of the skirtings are now painted. Still to go are the skirtings in the hallway, Zoe's room, kitchen and study, as well as the window frames, door frames and doors. So much to do still and we are exhausted. The house still looks like a construction site, and we haven't got any furniture in yet, just our mattresses and some kitchen things. I am grateful that I can still cook in my kitchen and we don't have to sleep in the camper any more. I am really excited about finishing the painting and flooring so we can move our furniture and set up the house. It's going to look fantastic. Although we are exhausted and had enough, we are grateful that we can get excited about sitting back and enjoy our efforts.
