Day 3,643

Busy few days! Insulators came and went. Do you know the Pink Panther is really the mascot?!?!





I want a pair of these:



it took them less then 4 hours to insulate everything



Since the master is now over the living room the floor of the master needed to be insulted in order to insulate the ceiling in the living room:



My office was expanded - I'm embracing the disorganization I am currently living in.



and the kids got closets:



He's cutting through in Steven's room for a door into the closet:



We had a traffic jam this week - While sheetrock is being delivered:



This guy waited in the street to bring in dry wells:



Here is the sheetrock getting brought right into the garage:



then right through a bedroom window for upstairs:



talk about a tight squeeze:



OK now it's this guys turn:





another tight squeeze:



Anthony slightly confused that he can't get to his swingset but loves the big truck:



So the game plan is to take those 2 wells above stack them on top of each other and place the lid on it and call it a day. Not so simple! Once you dig 3 feet here you hit water. It's as if once you hit just below 3 ft and someone turns on a faucet as if you are filling a bathtub.





Oh see those black tubes sticking out - well those are our sprinkler lines. How lucky are we that he hit EVERY SINGLE ONE!



See the water - this is at almost 4 ft.



So what we did was dig 2 holes for each well which required only two 4ft. holes instead of one 12ft. hole





All filled in:

Epic Fail!

Day 2,598

A quick update. It's been a bit slow since it's just been siding that's going on but now they are at the end and starting tomo the madness starts up again. Insulation goes in tomo and then sheetrock Ya!!!! Walls - I am excited for walls. Walls mean tile and tile means we are coming to the end. 6 weeks left to go - it'll go quick....right?!?! :)

Here's what the house looks like now:



Newly stained front door - that's some professional looking work right there I wonder who did that......hmmmm some crazy Mom with too much time on her hands?!?!



Garage - no doors yet - but clearly is a good storage space



Back porch - looking good!



A whole lotta garbage:



A hot mess:



Some fancy wiring:



Well the kids have a shower base:



and so do we and a fancy seat:



this mess is the controls for the master bath - just a bunch of pipes to me but apparently it's a big deal:



fancy duck work:



1/2 of the attic - the framing in the back there are Sam and Steven's new closets:



other 1/2 of the attic:



After this we will have enough power to supply the whole block:



Head dumbass ripping the driveway:



In all this mess - we brought another bird home.....:



filthy animals:



totally loving the the back porch it's where all the crazies get together and I can close the door :)

Day 255

Well it's been a crappy week so far with the rain but that really hasn't slowed anyone down it's just made it kinda miserable to work cause the weather has sucked!

So here's where we are at:

the big picture - there is a house in there somewhere:



we are up to 2 trailers now....oh is that color I see in the background - back to that in a minute??



cultured stone is coming along - this has been a long, dusty, tedious, long, dusty process! I am still surprised this stuff came in individual pieces



Hey are you trying to get that piece of wood up my stairs - caught ya!



OK so this is all Steve. He wanted a back porch area. OK no problem but then the step needed to be expanded so that's what's happening here but more importantly lets focus on whats happening above the doors in the middle:



see those gray boxes:



well those are outlets and cable lines so someone can put a TV outside there above the door in the middle - just where the K is in the middle Tyvek. This is so when a certain individual is in the pool he can just sit there to watch TV. No I'm not kidding!!  A shout out to Louis Pepe for this grand idea and a thank you in advance for buying the TV - he's so nice!



Pool house has doors!



Garage is getting plenty wired up



My closet acting as a staging ground for tools and more tools:



new master is the secondary storage for more and more tools:



OK back to color do ya see it do ya do ya?!?!



and there it is folks! The new house color - LOVE IT!!!!



Anthony playing with the bubbles amidst the insanity:



The kid is nuts



They will be siding for the rest of this week and next. Lots of plumbing happening along with electrical. I'll be back next week with more pictures!
