Day 12 and 13

We are moving along here...

Master suite in process:



close-up of process:



a view from the side:



our new view (oh that's our window):



Steve standing where the new shower will be:



getting there:



I see a gazebo:



and a porch:



I see it - do you?!?!:



something is happening here:



Ohhh it's so pretty!!!



a little sunbathing:



now that's a pretty roof:



We didn't want the back of the house to feel left out without a porch so we gave it a little covered....something



and in the midst of all this - one of the puppies got sick and requires this daily:



Easter came and I made a cake:



The cousins got together and had an egg hunt:



Anthony had a blast:



so did Sophia:



this makes me happy!



Oh and meet Luke! YES I know I'm/we're crazy but that's what makes life interesting

Day 9, 10 & 11

OK the days are kinda running into each other. So lets just review 9, 10 and 11 in one shot. So there are these tarps that are bigger then the damn house! They should prevent it from raining inside the house....

Lets just say some water got in and Mike came to save the day and brushed the water off the roof:



Steve attempted to lend a hand:



I can't believe I didn't take pictures of the rainfall in the livingroom. Instead you'll have to just settle on what happened in the kitchen the following night - luckily here the water was leaking straight thru the door jam instead of like the ceiling in the living room:



Steve just itching to get up into the new attic to see the space:



when the men are away the boys will play....







We've got a roof:



and it's so pretty!:



With every new roof a hole happens once:



or twice:



hell 3 times a charm right:



Sam always wanted direct sunlight in her room:



It's getting there:



Remember the roof rot - well in order to replace that we needed some extra support - in our bedroom:



that's a lot of wood....that's what she said - haha:



OK now we are getting somewhere, Here's the making of a bedroom there folks

Day 8

OK so it's still all about the roof and even more so after some dry rot was found that wasn't expected but needs to be replaced. That involved the roof line getting changed - it sucks about the dry rot but the new roof line will match up with the garage pretty good!

Shout out to Mr. James Bouler for designing our dream home!



it's getting there! Do ya see it? Do ya do ya?!!!







Our new roof - in a nice little package!





The man responsible for the hot mess! Mike owner of MDM Builders! So far he's come thru and we've made the right choice - well wait that was before he told us we need a new roof so the jury has reconvened.



Good roof/bad roof. So on the left is what we should have up there and what you see on the right is rotted and what we actually have



OK all covered and ready for the rain tomorrow - let's hope it's not a lot!

DAY 7

Fast as lightening!

I go into the laundry room - direct sunlight always helps dry the clothes



Oh I see there's NO ROOF!



This truck represents my payback. "Why" you ask? Well I specifically asked repeatedly for at least a week notice to empty my closet. Things have been moving as fast as lightening and I was given a few hours! Well I might have forgotten to mention that the attic was filled with misc. wood, mattresses, paint cans, a kitchen sink and various other crap that was left up there when we bought the house and never removed. So when they ripped the roof my little surprise was discovered and they needed to clear it - hehe



There's Mike coming to kill me for "forgetting" to tell him about the attic -hehe



Once the attic got cleared they got moving:



really moving:



then the rain came:



at least the tarp matches my kitchen



till tomorrow!
