Day 8

Estela enjoying our new Rain gutters.
I know San Diego always needs the rain and we really don’t get that much here but I would really like it to stop raining for a while. Doesn’t mother nature know we’re working on a house here? Haven’t we hit our yearly average already??? Our back yard is a swamp and I feel like we have a moat around the house. Tony’s been digging up the crappy plumbing and now the trench that runs all the way around the house is full of rainwater. I’m wondering if Home Depot sells draw bridges… At least we have another line of defense around the castle now. Oh wait, we aren’t the knights who say Ni! So we don’t need a moat. Oh well…
Despite all the rain, we did some major damage today. We got some rain gutters up around the back door so no more waterfall action in the living room. We now have a kitchen sink that doesn’t just drain into the back yard (you really gotta see how they “modified” the kitchen to believe it.) I got a big chunk of the bathroom demo done. I think I could get into demolition. It’s fun to break stuff and not get into trouble for it (or blamed for it when it wasn’t even my fault! right mom?)
I think I missed my calling...
Tony was a door frame fixin’ machine. For any of you who are thinking of putting screws with round heads in your door hinges, “I’m gonna punch your mama in the mouth.” Estela and mom tag-teamed the kitchen cabinets and pantry. Dad hooked up water to the new fridge (just another reason to love it, sorry Estela.) I’m psyched, things are coming together. Slowly but surely they are coming along. I don’t know how I forgot to mention it yesterday but mom worked some magic on the stove top and got all the burners, and even the igniters working. How cool is that? Anyways, we got a lot done today and I can feel it. I’m sure everyone is feeling it tonight. Anyways, another day is in the can. I’m gonna let the 2 Blue Moons I drank while typing this take me away (better than Calgon!) Post Y’all later.
P.S. Bonus points to anyone who gets the 2 movie references I made tonight!
