ORIGINAL: bstinger I do have some good news to report. My daughter moved back home today. 5 weeks to the day from when she left. The first 3 weeks I was distraught. Then, 2 Sundays ago, we drove down and talked to her and she agreed to move back if we finished the basement bedroom for her. The next two weeks I was busier than I've ever been. One challenge was that we were using that room for storage. When my dad moved out of his apartment into assisted living, a lot of his excess stuff landed there. Then my mother in law passed away in December and some of her stuff ended up there. We had to find spots for all that stuff before we could get to work. My wife and I worked hard to prime, paint, lay flooring, and do all the trim work, and install the closet organizer. We still have to put the closet doors on but they need to be painted. She's very happy with the room. Now she'll have a little space. Hopefully we can repair the relationship and have a good time until she goes off to college in the fall. Also got some good news from the U of M last week. She received 4,000 per year in scholarships. Hoping for many more. Great News Stinger!!
