Insulation - See for yourself!!

More sound proof... probably warmer... much cooler (in the summer).

Instulation passed inspection!!

The insulation (sort of seen pictured here- hard to see as we took the picture from the pizza place) has passed inspection today! Builder Dad is going over to the house right now on his lunch hour to take some more pics. Will post when I get them!!

FINALLY some GREAT news!!

So, our loan company got back to us today about extending past Dec. 23rd. Now we have until Feb. 18th (Little Builder #1's birthday) to get this house done. This comes at NO CHARGE!!! What super news! What a great birthday present for the little man! Now we can have a party for him! If we can't get the house done by then though, the extension will cost us.

More great news--- the plumber is at the house TODAY and the insulator is on his way there too! If all goes well, it will be inspected by Friday and the sheetrock can start going up next week! Ikea, here we come! Kitchen and bathrooms will be ordered this weekend.

I sure hope Tita and Papa are reading because they are going to be our only hope this weekend!! What would we do without the best babysitters in the world?

Today's Entry

Nada nuevo! Maybe a few more sheets of sheet rock... but nothing else. Jeez... plumbers are hard to come by these days!! Hope January brings us much more progress than December has!! It would be truly nice to not have to pay rent at two places anymore!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!!

Dang Kids!

Apparently some little hoodlums got BB guns for Christmas and decided to shoot out a few windows on Christmas Day/Night. 3 Windows total- one is already going to be replaced with a tempered window (by the front door), and two of the large windows in the living room. I think we can just replace the panes and not the entire windows... but golly! They're BIG windows!! What a freaking nightmare! My brain keeps saying, "You'll shoot your eye out!!!"

Good news is that the plumber should be out this week and insulation should be done by the 1st. Hopefully that really is the case!!

Looks like we missed our Dec. 23rd deadline for the loan. Hopefully we'll find out soon how much this delay is going to cost us. Add that on top of renting our current house, and you've got yourself a used Miata!

Day before Christmas

We went by yesterday and noticed that someone had filled the bathtubs with water (I'm assuming the inspector had to check them out???). They are filled with water still (and rusting nails)... I feel sorry for the clean up crew. Anyway, there was lots and lots of sheetrock there and not really much else. No gas to the kitchen, no valves moved up, no new tempered glass windows. I'm sure it will happen soon once it does... it's just so hard waiting now that our Dec. 23rd deadline came and went. I can't remember if our extension is for one month or not, but I'm pretty sure our deadline now will be Jan. 23. Merry Christmas!!

News (or lack there of) of the day

There was a man delivering sheetrock today when I drove by. Still no insulation, but when that happens, I'm sure it won't take long. Builder Dad left a message for Builder today (late in the day) and hopefully we'll have some good news around Christmas (not that anything will happen between now and Christmas, but you never know!!). Happy Holidays!!
