Close the Distance

This weekend Allison and I (mostly Allison) have been painting our new house.  We have focused on the bedrooms first since work was still being done on the dining room floor.  The floor was finished today and so all that remains for flooring is the carpeting.  Our builder did some special tile work in the main entry and in the master bath floor and I think it gives it such a nice touch.  She will also do some special tile work around on the wall above the master bath.  The house is coming along really well.  This week will be very eventful as the kitchen cabinetry and counter tops are put in.  Also, some of our appliances will be delivered
and connected.

Hopefully the rest of the details will come together quickly.  As with most new construction houses, theft is all too common.  I drove by tonight and saw a suspicious truck on the road of the development.  When I approached, he sped off and so I followed him a little bit and he did a quick turnaround into heavy traffic.  The house is locked up, but since they sit vacant, some losers prey on them thinking they can get power tools and building supplies for free.  Our builder has been wise so far and not left much of anything at the
house when they aren’t there and had what they needed delivered when
right when they need it.  Unfortunately, would be burglars don’t necessarily know this nor do they realize how much it costs themselves when they steal from others, if they get caught or even if they don’t get caught.  The house done the street apparently was burglarized and they vandalized the house too.  That could be  a major setback for the building schedule and is so discouraging to everyone if someone were to do something.  I pray that God protects the house and the builder’s tools and supplies.
