As I was heading to bed last night, I looked out the bedroom window... and snapped this picture. It kind of looks surreal. The sticky snow painted the big maple tree white.

    As I was walking today, I passed a park area which is flooded with melting snow & rain. The ducks don't seem to mind. Kinda of helps put things into perspective... one person's flood is another's feast.

    Snow is melting away. Close to the house (where I've been piling snow & ice from the pavement in front of the shop, it's still 3ft deep...

    And it's not that big of a bedroom... He had every inch piled full. I didn't realize how much.

    Linen closet baseboards, installed and caulked...

    This tiny piece of trim required fitting around the trim and the bottom of the handrail. I went up and down a dozen times, trimming it to fit... At least half an hour worth of fussy work. Gah!!

    I'm trying to find joy in this activity but crawling on hands & knees hasn't been easy to appreciate.

    I got my beard trimmed so I'm more ZZ Top and less Santa Claus...

    Getting ready to sell and move has proved more emotional for me than I anticipated. I wish my wife was up here to help but alas...

    I'm trying to remain optimistic and upbeat... but it does feel a bit overwhelming.

    I'm surprised they put up a sign before they took pictures etc...

    I'm still kind of shocked they put up a sign before pictures taken etc... Really ramps up the pressure on me to finish staging. Ugh.
