Eating the Elephant.... the Continuing Story

The weeks are starting to all feel the same.  I can't remember what I last talked about on here, and honestly I'm just too exhausted to go back and read my last post.

We finished up the last vent in the drain system. Also, we broke up the sidewalk that ran down the side of the house where we will be installing egress windows. Trevor is always mindful of the dang-blasted dumpster. The garbage company forgets to empty the dumpster all the time!!! So when it is empty, we try to fill it up asap, because you never know if they are going to come on time or not, but I'd hate to waste the money to have them come empty an empty dumpster. So long story short, we have to keep the dumpster full so we don't waste money. The sidewalk was such hot, heavy and messy work. I don't think I've ever EVER sweat so much in my life.

Also, we finally said "so long" to the cat door in the front of the house. It's outta there. We fixed the siding, and replaced the trim around the front door as well.

Then we went down into the basement and started putting up the foam insulation panels. We cut them to size and then put special adhesive on the back of each one and glued them to the cement walls. It's amazing how much better it already looks and feels down there now. We also closed up one of the holes that go into the crawl space from the basement.

We finished tonight at 9:30, and I'm feeling absolutely zapped at this point. I need to do a family update, but I'm falling asleep.

Next time...
