Wrong again

See?  I guess I’m wrong a LOT.  I was wrong about the framers showing up and doing stuff this week.  Not a single person (other than Guy) has done any work at the house this week. Not one.  They even took away some of their tools.  Someone delivered stone though, so we have hopes that [...]

What? Huh? Updates? Huh?
Yeah, not much to say really. Guy’s truck died the other day and we also found out that the well guy broke the backhoe (we told him he could use it, big mistake). Not good news when we already have a million things to do. Guy spent [...]

Black Friday laboring

Seems someone worked on Friday.  The masons were obviously at the house finishing (almost) the chimney.  The outside fireplace looks great.

And the interior looks just as good, both downstairs and up.
 
At some point during the last week, the framers also installed part of the ledge that goes between the shingle siding and stone on [...]

Happy Black Friday

I’m not a shopper, so that doesn’t mean much to me, but to you shoppers out there, well… happy bargaining.
Yesterday was a lovely Thanksgiving. We spent the day sleeping in, then heading to the house to let Sam run around a little to expel some energy before we went to Kim’s house (Guy’s sister). [...]

Moving along

The masons were obviously back today. They installed our fireplace and continued work on the chimney. The fireplace is a KozyHeat brand and after inspection should crank out a ton of heat for us.

They finally finished flashing the last skylight and installing shingle so water won’t be pouring into the closet [...]

Ok, so sometimes I’m wrong

Guy called me at lunch and said everybody and their uncle is at the house today. Electricians, mason, framers… heck, even Levi showed up. Guy ended up going up there because as usual, they had a million questions and there’s no way to address them all without being there. I have no [...]

Another week gone

Can you believe Thanksgiving is this Thursday?  It simply doesn’t seem possible that this year is nearly over.  For all intents and purposes, it may as well be.  After Thanksgiving the official Christmas onslaught will start and you can kiss the rest of this year goodbye.  And on that note, unless our builder gets a [...]

Slow month

That’s how it seems, anyway.
Guy was at the house yesterday trying to finish up the seaming on the rubber roof.  He ran out of material though so that project may be on hold for a while.  He did finish all the work up by the house though so the framers can move forward with whatever [...]

I might melt

That’s why I’m sitting here on the couch watching the Browns whip the Steelers choke while Guy is up at the house working, in the rain. Sam is here with me because, although he won’t melt, he’ll get muddy.
So thankfully yesterday was a decent day and we were able to lay the remaining large [...]

Looky! Looky!

Look what I did tonight, all by myself, with no instructions!!

The plumbers need to know exactly where to stub out the drain and supply lines for this vanity, and since it came with NO documentation whatsoever, the only choice was to put it together. Guy is at the house tonight working on something (not [...]
