The house is in place, as of 10-18-10. We have been working nearly every waking minute on finishing it up. The upstairs was completely unfinished. We started by laying the subfloor. Then came framing and insulating walls, running plumbing and electrical lines. Ofcourse this was not done in any particular order, and most of the time was done simultaneously. So many decisions, so little time. How to do it right the first time!!? Stress, Stress, Stress. Currently, we have nearly all the drywall hung. Now to get it taped and finished. Once that is done we will be closing in on movein day!! How long will that take? Who knows? We had originally told people we hoped to move by Thanksgiving. Will that happen? doubt it. We will be lucky to move in ON Thanksgiving. So people ask if we will be in by Christmas. I just say, I hope to be in by Christmas 2011. I am 99% sure that will happen! Ha. Ha.
I would love to move in on Thanksgiving day. We moved in to our old house on Tgiving day 1998. It seems fitting to move out exactly 12 years later. I think I am just a sentimental fool.
Otherwise, things are just floating along here. I can not manage 2 houses, so the old house is getting minimal attention. The kids are doing well, excelling at school, thank goodness. I know that somedays the stress of all of this gets to them, too.
Kirsten will be going in for surgery in December. She will be having her Tonsils and Adenoids removed. I am sure she will feel better after that is healed up! She does not complain, but I know it affects her more than she says.
Well, I am off to the grocery store. The cupboards are BARE....and the family has been complaining about it.
