Dust and Sickness

Another Saturday bites the dust.

Yesterday we installed one of the window wells in the morning. The second window well can't go in yet because the hole is not quite the right size. It's close though.

Then we went to the lumber store to purchase some lumber, and came back and Trevor spent the rest of the day building the last of the basement walls. We now have an office nook, a bathroom, and a furnace room. The basement is complete, except for the doorways into the rooms. So it will be complete as soon as two doorways are built, but heck, that's still pretty good!

I worked up in the bathroom again. I finished cutting and installing the drywall and then mudding and taping it. I also worked outside on patching the few places that we needed to fix the stucco (where the old electrical mast was, the new faucets, the old dryer vent).

I'm still up in the air as far as which finish to do on the walls. I don't want to regret picking something that will take 1000 hours to complete. I'm kinda thinking that the knock down finish sounds really good. I'm already going to have to spend a lifetime texturing the ceilings. Hmmm, it's a quandary.

I didn't take any photos yesterday. I know, I know. I should have, but it got dark very fast, and then it was too late.

We are still sick. I'm still quite sick, and every time I move I can feel it in my teeth. Lots of pressure in my head. Pretty much all of my kids are sick too, and Trevor has still managed to get away free from it all. He's so lucky.

Alright then. I'll try to remember to take some photos this week.
