Today is Kevin's birthday!! We had a great dinner planned but for the second time in as many weeks, our kitchen sink is clogged. The apartment repair crew (they are beginning to seem like part of the family) was over earlier this afternoon and tried to replace part of the pipe under the sink that had a rather large hole in it. This didn't solve all of the problems so instead of the steak and risotto we had planned, we ordered Chinese food and ate off of leftover Abby Cadabby plates from Ellie's birthday. I just couldn't see washing all of the dishes in the bathtub like was suggested to me by one of the guys working here this afternoon. Oh to have a dishwasher!!
Although it has been freezing cold and a terrible time to work on a house without walls or insulation, this has been the sight at the lot ---except today of course!
Here is the outcome of all of those trucks! A ton of work getting done!
On the left side of this photo you can see our neighbor's brick is really coming along too. It is very nice as well and the two colors really look nice next to each other.
We took Ellie over today. This is at the front door. You can see that once again the front porch is covered with a tarp. The brick layers were over today prepping for the columns. I don't know how they did it!!
Our fireplace is at the house! I hope we get in the house in time to use it just once!
Our attic fan! The electricians are finished with the rough in. The HVAC crew and plumbers need one more day. Looking at the forecast for tomorrow it looks like it will be next week before they get back to the house. All three must be completed before the framing inspection can take place. Hopefully this inspection will happen on Wednesday and insulation can begin on Thursday.
