Home Improvement

We have turned a bit of a corner. As my mom said, “we’re putting things back in now.” At least less and less is being torn out and more is being put in. Bill, dad, and I (ok, mainly them) got the tub in place.

The jacuzzi suite!!! J/k it's our new tub. Saaaweeeet!

We had some small setbacks figuring out the plumbing and setting it up for the surround (shower walls.) Once we got a game plan and the plumbing got lined up, the day was pretty much over. Tony got a lot of the Drylok on the problem wall, the front of the house and a bit of the back. It looks great! So much better than the pink!!! It’s white by the way. It looks awesome, even with the burgundy trim. It makes a big difference. Sorry I don’t have a pic. It was dark before I thought about it. Anyways, we got quite a bit of other things done today too. Mom and Edith started on the window screens. Estela was an unpacking and cabinet lining fiend. Anna busted out the lawn mower again and I was all over the place. From scraping grease out of the kitchen to tearing out drywall and helping with the tub. Estela and I even got some touch up painting done. In all a pretty productive weekend came to a close. We are excited to keep things moving along. I’m sure that I’ve forgotten some of what we did again but, I’m just jazzed to see things start to come together. Well, tomorrow it’s back to regular work for most of us. We can only be thankful for the fact that mom and dad, Bill and Edith are retired and think we are worth helping out. It’s gonna be a long hard week, but it will be worth it. For now, however, it’s off to sleep. I’m exhausted. As are everyone else. We’ll post ya laters…
