Car, Job and House Update!
It's been a week since I dropped my car off with the electrical problem. Apparently replacing the alternator has fixed the problem. The technician told me that the original alternator was putting out too much voltage.
They also pulled and cleaned all the plugs and tightened the ground going to the computer.
I convinced them to wash it and give me an oil change as well since I was without the car for a whole week.
I've got the car safely parked in the garage until better weather comes.
On another note...
All the overtime that I have been working for the past year will be coming to an end on February 2nd. I will be going back to just working 14 shifts (12 hours each shift) per month instead of 20 - 23 shifts.
I'm finding that I'm a bit apprehensive about this change. I still have to sell my old house (or possibly find a renter) to get rid of the debt of the second mortgage and equity loans.
Please pray that we will be able to complete renovations and sell the house for a fair price very quickly. I'd even ask that you'd pray that we could sell directly to the new owner rather than using a real estate agent. That would enable us to split the savings with the new owner.
We've just about finished the painting of the bedrooms. I had the carpet pulled off the stairs and the second floor hallway. The wood floors underneath look great and I won't be putting carpet back down in these areas. The wall paper in the kitchen and dining rooms is almost all off and spackling is nearing completion in these rooms.
I need to decide on tile for the bathrooms and laundry. Also need to pick wood floor for the kitchen and have it installed. We will clean and refinish the wood floors throughout the house as well (hopefully without having to sand them).
We will also be replacing the fixtures in the powder room.
The garage will get some drywall patched and a fresh coat of paint. I still need to get the rest of my tools and construction materials out of there!
Finally, we will mulch all the flower beds and plant new shrubs and flowers.
So... that's the update for now. Please keep us in prayer! We definitely need it!

Prayers for you - especially that God will bless you as you change shifts. I'm sure that your family is going to love having more Dad time. :)
