Day 4213

Progress - that is what I keep telling myself!! We have walls and the 1st coat of spackle!





The bathroom or any walls near water get pretty purple sheetrock:



another one wearing the adjustable shoes - I so need a pair!



Then I heard some banging in the garage and ran out to find this:



and this:



any idea what this is???:



Well look what all that turned into - did you guess right??! LOVE THEM!!!! Oh and they open and close with the press of a button and and my truck has a button built in that was also programmed - How cool is that!!!



We interrupt this house mess for some kid mess :)

Steven had his class play an he was a state delegate. The play was about the Great Compromise! He did awesome!





Grandpa was proud!



OK back to house mess!

Can you see it - the dust that is.....ugh it's gonna be the death of me! This week it's gonna get worse. The kids rooms, the kitchen, the living room, my office, Steve's office, 1 bathroom, the new addition, the garage and pool house will all get sanded this week. This DUST will be everywhere!!!!! Shoot me now! I know the dust will get cleaned but the thought of it every where is going to  make me insane.



On the plus side - the siding is done!

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 :)
