KABOOM!

A tree feel on the new house yesterday!!!


Chris was there working and had the floor scrubber going so he did not hear anything. He looked up and there was a tree! It did hit the roof. The gutters are damaged, but it does not look like anything major to the roof. Chris, his Dad and Uncle Scot cut up the tree today in the unbearable heat.

The house is moving along. All of the carpet is in and looks amazing. Carpet city donated all of the carpet, materials and labor. They were amazing! We are waiting for the AC to get put in and then the rest of the flooring can be installed. It is a very sensitive floor for installation and the humidity is just too high in the house. Most of the lights are in and half of the trim is done (The half that can be completed). Blinds are in. The house looks amazing!

Flooring

On my way home from work today I stopped at the new house, walked down the hall, took off my shoes and walked into our bedroom. There was Carpet!!!!! I laid on the floor looking up at the ceiling fan spin. We are almost there! I was so excited.

Last night we met with a lady that is going to donate her time to make valances for our windows. She had two fabrics and I absolutely loved one of them. So simple to choose. I walked in the house she had them up on the window and I said " I LOVE IT!" We are starting with the dining room, Living room and Kitchen first.

What else is going on at the house.. Half of the mirrors are up, the fire place is done and looks amazing, the carpet upstairs should be finished tomorrow, the rest of the flooring will hopefully start next week, most of the trim is done, blinds are all up, cabinets are done.. so much going on! It is all so exciting and fun to see all of the hard work of the many contractors and volunteers come together.

Both kids are doing well. Callie slept 11 hours last night. That just does not happen very often. We just heard back from the Ear Nose and Throat doctors and they have decided to do the ear tubes again. We are just waiting for a phone call to schedule them. Zak made it to his follow up from his ear tube removal with out any ear issues.. the next day he got an infection. Bummer! He has been busy swimming at summer school. He loves to swim.

Last weekend my Mom came to visit.. I worked her until we were both soar. She helped to hang the 25 blinds in the house. Callie's God Father also came up from Texas to see his family and friends. We have been able to spend some time catching up with him this week. He will stay until Sunday. He made an AMAZING jumpy for Zak. I can't wait to see him in it. This weekend is Chris's 15 year class reunion, hard to think he has been out of school that long already and my brother will also come to visit. So much going on, but that is the fun of summer!
