This is one of my favorite examples of why it is wrong to quote the Bible out of context. In case you don't take the time to look up the second half of Ecclesiastes 10:19, I'll give it to you here:
"...money is the answer to everything."
How about that? ;)
But as much as I do NOT believe that is true (read it in the context of the whole book and you'll get a very different flavor!), it does happen to be appropriate to the question of the week: how is work coming on the house??
Money is a good answer to that question. That's about all that's happened. Matt has had a lot of his own work (that he gets paid to do) this week, and looks like he will for most of next week, too, which means that he has the opportunity to earn money, which he doesn't do when he's working on building the house. It's also been another week where we've spent money on the house. Menards' 11% rebate sale this week prompted us to go out and pick up a bunch of the things that are upcoming - light fixtures for Barb's rooms, tile and cement backer board for her bathroom walls, light bulbs for a number of areas, phone cord, smoke detectors, and a variety of other things as well. It's not very satisfying progress for Matt, but as I've tried to remind him, it's hard to get the work done when you don't have the stuff to do it, and getting the stuff takes time, so I count shopping time as "real" work time on the house.
But it doesn't make for very interesting pictures. Hm. Unless you count the fact that we brought most of our parade with us. We must be quite the sight walking through Menards with Matt and I with a cart each, Leah pushing Krassi in his wheelchair, and Reuben and Rinnah following along in the mix. (Owen stayed at a friend's house.) Maybe next time we decide to all go out I *should* bring the camera!
