Last weekend, a friend came to help me finish up the work on our old house. We finished a little bit of work on the retaining wall and then filled in some cracks in the cement stairs leading to the house. The fun part was taking down the playset and fitting it in the van. I'm guessing my friend is really good at tetris because he got the whole thing in there, which was great. We had a few tools we had to leave behind because they wouldn't fit (e.g. ladder, wheelbarrow), but the whole playset went in one trip. It was great! And thanks to him, we were done in time to get home for dinner. Without his help, I probably would have left around 9 or 10.
It has been a lot of work, but we're finally done and we're probably going to close this week. I'm so thankful this is working out for us and I look forward to owning only one house again. And I'm thankful for friends who are so willing to drop everything to help out.
