Laurie's World

Well…such sad news…Lizard (formerly known to his human owners as Billy Joe John Bing Mack Rob (or something like that)…has run away.

Diane…I sincerely hope also, that you do not wake up one morning to be staring into his face either…Jackie told me what your comments were when he escaped

Monday was a day off around here and Tuesday was mostly about invisible (to me anyway) work. The roofing supply company came by to pick up the extra material off the roof (which is nice–as now it looks like it is finished–other than the roofer needs to come back to take the supply braces off). Called the cabinet company to make my changes to the cabinet design–YIKES! That made me popular!! Went through the big old ToDo list that we created over the weekend with Drew. Oh yeah…we have another Andrew on site…So that has really encouraged me to get with the "Drew" and "Andrew" thing! So Andrew…is the packer/chief shop vaccer I think…must be the lowest guy on the totem poleBut he seems happy enough…

I was supposed to be getting the container back on Tuesday to (re)move Marjorie (that is what we have named our pile of garbage–that seems to have taken on a life of its own–SIGH). But it would appear that Thursday is the day now…Andrew is going to be the chief dumpster loader too…so he needs to save up his energy for that! I should get a pix of that pile…IT IS MASSIVE! and blue (tarp)

Javier was here for most of the day on Tues…water was off…so that was fun (sarcasm intended)…but he got the master bath plumbing rerouted, water installed to the corner sink as well as the Viking fridge…maybe the pot filler tap too…I have to check on that though…He says he will be here on Wed from 8-8…must be tired of us alreadyHe calls me Rachael…which is kinda funny…but I have not corrected him as I have always wanted to know what it would be like to be Rachael (and this may be the closest I ever get)

They took out the pony wall at the front door…which oddly enough, I waffled on over the weekend…BUT I am so glad i did it! WOW!

Here are some pictures from Wed am…several guys here…Andrew, Doug, Drew, Guy X (dunno his name)…Lets call him pony tail guy maybe…

Small plug for life cerealWe have been eating a little cereal these days

Here is Jackie’s room with all the edges cleaned up around the dormer and the floor is built up…

Shop vac boy did a good job eh?

Here is Doug finishing up the framing for the closet extension and the mudroom area…

Small glimpse of Javier here…tying in the venting for the plumbing

Here is the "wall" between the old dining room and the living room…see our little makeshift kitchen…NICE EH??

This is the pass through to the family room…this has been done since last week when I was gone, but i forgot to put up a picture of it. Doesn’t look like much, but it is hard to get a gopod picture as i can not get back far enought to make it look right
