For more detailed views of the progress...check out the slide show at the bottom of my page!
Of course there have been a few bumps along the way... LOL!! When they are laying block, they of course leave holes where the windows are going to be. For some strange reason the architect drew a 5 foot window in the water closet (aka toilet room in the master bedroom) and 2 - 4ft x 2 ft windows in the master bathroom shower. I know it isn't what we discussed with him, but we didn't catch it when he gave us the plans either! So needless to say we were going to be VERY exposed in all aspects of using our bathroom! Thankfully, Damon had not left for work yet and noticed the potential picturesque views. We were able to correct the problem quickly, but it required some scrambling! I'm so thankful Damon is doing this with me. He is soooooo knowledgeable about all of this and has avoided some major problems. I would be paying out the nose for some change orders without him!
Another 'error' occurred today as they were removing the eaves of the house. Somehow the eave was supporting an electrical line and when they removed it, the weight of the electrical cable pulled down the power line. It affected all the neighbors, too! NICE!! Thankfully it was midday, so hopefully most people were at work! The neighbors were up and running after about an hour, but it took them until about 7pm tonight to get us some power. They had planned to move the electrical tomorrow since I would be at work, but they decided to call everyone in today to get the work done since it was already halfway there. Luckily everyone was available or we would have spent the night in the dark!
The biggest story of the remodel (in my opinion) is thanks to my precious little Rylee!! LOL!! She was at Nanny and Papa's (who live next door) while Damon and I were at work. They decided to bring her over to check on the construction and to let her play in the sand that is EVERYWHERE!! During her play she started showing signs of needing to go potty, so what do they do...you guessed it....they let her use the Port-A-Potty! OMG!! They said that our house was locked, so they just let her use it... Did I mention that they LIVE NEXT DOOR!! So...I'm sure it goes without saying, but she didn't go #1!! I was shocked at the news and asked what they used for toilet paper... Come to find out, the Port-A-Potty was well stocked. I must say I was impressed by that...but all the same...EWWW!! Well she just thought it was the coolest thing ever! I am mortified at the thought that one of the construction workers would think it was me that used it... I mean it wasn't there when they left for the day, but it is there when they get back the next morning!!! You know...she may always match and have a bow in her hair, but a frilly girl she is NOT...she is a tomboy for sure! I guess deep down I knew she wouldn't make it through the whole remodel without fully investigating the outdoor facilities!
