Auld Lang Syne. . .

T’was the week after Christmas

And down at the site,

Our builders had been working

From morning  ‘til night.

Last  September this site

Had trees all around,

Then in came the machines

And they fell to the ground.

The dirt was then moved

To make it level and neat,

For the eight big trucks

Full of concrete.

With boards and string

They had marked out the floors,

Because the house’s foundation

They needed to pour.

They framed all the walls

As fast as the wind,

Then on went the roof,

And the windows went in!

The electrician came

To check out the plan,

Where to put all the outlets,

The lights and the fans.

We put in some air and

Heating ducts too,

We also needed wiring

For a TV or two!

Now the roof is all shingled

The siding is on,

The paint color is chosen

Just  waiting for stone.

On the inside of the house

With the drywall installed,
Now some rooms look big
While others seem small.

It’s almost time

For us to commit,
On the colors of rooms

To make it all fit.

 

Should the cabinets be stained?
Or just painted white?
It's hard to decide
How to make it all right! 



   

We’ll pick out the tile,

 and some granite and such

carpet, flooring, lights and fixtures

. . .it all seems so much!

 

Will our old furniture fit,

Or do we need new?

It’s so very hard

To know what to do.

One step at a time

Is what they all say,

It will all come together

And be finished one day.

All these decisions will be made

I have no fear,

Because our house will be done

And we'll show you next year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
