So, being a couple of HGTV nerds, we completely knew that we would likely run into surprises along the way. Yep, it has happened. Some very expensive surprises. I don't want to say much more than that until we speak with the contractor and figure out a game plan, cost, and how we are going to fund the additional expenses. Besides, being all cryptic builds the anticipation, right? :)
Yesterday I had completely had it with the entire process. I was tired and with the kids ALL. DAY. LONG. and ran their happy asses all over town. Joe ended up working on the house after he finished work and I finally sent him a very snippy text about needing some help. He then came and was able to catch the end of the kids swimming, which was nice to share that time with him before I had to take off for a community event thing. I got video of the kids each going off the diving board, which was great. Owen backed out twice before he finally did it (with a gentle nudge from the teacher) and Edie just leaped without a second thought and then yelled, "That was AWESOME!" as soon as her little head came back above water :) That is just so the way that they are :)
I wish that there was a good way to cap the plumbing at the house. We have had the water turned off, but I really want to start putting in a garden and fruit trees, but we can't do that without water and we can't turn on the water without capping all the open plumbing. <sigh> it is just going to be a long process. A long, expensive process.
