There's More Good News To Tell!!

We got our property surved on the one side. The side where our trouble making neighbors live so we would know where exactly to put our fence when we're able to afford one. In the meantime, hubby put in tall stakes and marked each one orange and strung along an orange strip from one stake to another. Come to find out, our neighbor was wrong, he had put up orange ties on the trees where he thought his property came to and it wasn't right!! Our property went about 10 feet inside of his markers!! It's no wonder we wouldn't agree to what he said!! He was wrong all along!! It's a matter of time for them to come home and see what was done and we wonder if they'll raise a stink over the matter. Oh well if they do!! We have proof that a survey was done and this is where our property is, like it or not, too bad!! lol I'm soooo loving it!! tee hee!!There's more!! To explain, I told you about hubby's mother and step father passing away last year, one in May and the other New Year's Eve. Both were creamated but still they needed to be buried with military honors and the cemetary they were to be buried at was near hubby's two brothers house which is a five hours drive. Hubby's oldest brother makes all kinds of things out of wood but mainly cabinets. He's really really good at what he does. We've needed new counter tops for all three bathrooms and in the kitchen because the ones we have now are horrible looking and don't match the beautiful cabinets that we have. Plans were made for their parents to be buried so, of course, hubby went to the funeral. While up there he went to see his brother to have him make another counter top for our bathroom, which is another story.... the fawcet wasn't working right for the longest time and when hubby got most of his inheritance, we were able to buy a new faucet (time for repairs!) Hubby had a terrible time getting the old fawcet out but once he got it out, the sink had cracked. Lovely. Just lovely. So he had to replace the sink too and as he tried to get the sink out, he tore the counter top. lol So he took the counter top out and took it with him so his brother could make a new one with the color that I choose. Hubby gave him the dementions of the other two counters (mud room and mud room bathroom) and he was able to make those as well. Now his brother wants to come down and stay with us for a couple days sometime this spring or summer so he could make the kitchen counter and the master bathroom counter!! We're like "COME ON!" lol Counter tops are expensive!! But his brother can make them for a fraction of the cost!! The three he made us he didn't charge us anything except the cost of the materials! They are absolutely gorgeous!! He did a fantastic job!! I'm really impressed with his work that I can't wait for him to come down and make the other two!! All counters will be the same except the kitchen one. The kitchen will have a tan color but some areas are lighter than others, kind of like a blended of browns so it'll pick up the color of our cabinets and set it off. All the other counters are kind of a greyish color with specks of darker grey and white specks. They're soooo pretty that they look like real marble but it's not. So another reason why I can't wait for Spring to get here!! lol There's more to tell but I don't think it'll all fit on here so I'll do another discussion when I can. Right now it's dinner time and I'm starving!! lol I'd like to add, I'm guessing that with all the good we did last year and still continue to do that God has seen it and is rewarding us for everything and then some and for that I want to shout on the roof tops "THANK YOU GOD!! THANK YOU!!"
