Laurie's World

My sincere apologies to my loyal fans who have been checking in daily only to be disappointed to see no new blog entries. It is NOT that things have not been happening…it has merely been a result of my inability to manage my time effectively enough to get an entry done. So now I will post all the activity…including pictures that I took up until Sat June 2nd…

My adventures at Camp Casey pale in comparison to what was going on here (Thanks to Mr. Troy for doing such a great job of running the show while I was gone) The walls and cabinets in the kitchen are totally gone and all the beam work is complete…they have started to frame in the mud room area and framed in the wall between the living room and (old) dining room.

On Sat, there was a big crew here and the major accomplishments were that they worked on the dormers in the girl’s rooms and got the front entry moved out and completely framed in. Most of the other stuff they were working on is not big visability stuff (like hangers and strapping etc). I am amazed at the front entry though. That makes even more of a difference than i thought it would. The front of the house is SO different! The pictures do not even really capture it…

Here are how the dormers have been knocked out…Jackie first and then Rachael’s room

Rachael’s dormer has not been completely cut out yet…but I thought this picture of Doug perched up there was good…so I threw it in. I will get one of Racahel’s finished product posted soon.

Javier (the plumber) was here on Sat also…got the corner sink and dishwasher venting and waste done as well as the small fridge water plumbing done. He worked a bunch on the crawl space work also…Won’t be back until Tuesday now…He thinks he will work Tues, Wed and Thurs to get all the plumbing done and ready for inspection on Friday.

Got Jeff and his pal coming on the next two weekends to do the electrical…WAHOO! Note to self to remember to pull those permits…

The highlight of the day however was…(now this is a little reward for those of you who have read through this whole thing)…Dion found a lizard (or some such thing) on Friday and it has become the mascot among the neighborhod children for this Reno. Jackie and her friends have created a nice home, as naturalized as possible, and have spent the entire day (SAT) playing with it…it is probably scared to death…and heaven forbid it be a boy as he has a bright pink rubbermaid tub as its home…
