NOT AGAIN!!!!!

I'm sure you all know the story about how kyle hurt his knee the first time he came up to Washington to start work. Well surprise it happened again yesterday. He was playing baseball with his work team and he went to round 1st base to go to second and stopped really fast and his knee went POP! We went to the doctor today and they said he has to go back on Monday for and MRI the doctor said he thinks he either tore his meniscus or his ATL. It was really gross because I was sitting their watching the doctor put a huge needle into his kneecap and pull out 60 cc's of blood (not good).I'll update on Monday after the doctor.

Day and Night! Wow!

Almost ready for siding!




That light is really bright! Good for security, bad for sleep!



Main lines for water Hot/Cold! This is so beautiful!



Auto washer connections! Another one of the beautiful plumbing creations! Whoever did this was good! (It wasn't me!)



The kids tub! Big enough for even me! Freshly pissed in by our lovely Mexican friends up here!



Dual shower heads! Sweet! Our valves have seperate pressure and temperature arms that allow you to set the temperature where you want it, then when you wake up all you have to do is turn on the water! It will be set to the same temp every day!
--Disclaimer-- Although there are two shower heads only one person will use it at a time! (sickos!) I will be installing a circulation pump on the hot side of the water so when you turn on the hot it will be instant hot water! No waiting for five minutes for hot water!


The white wrap on the house is to prevent moisture from coming in contact with the wood framing. It works very well at keeping it in too! The heating guys were completing their duties today, and so now it is really moving! Next week should consist of siding, electricity, and more grading of the outside. Things are going well!

Hey don't trip!

They put the shingles on the house today. Everything is moving as planned.

Hard Work!

Big Sexy!



Abi



Richard (Dick)



Every one is tired after 15 hours of work!


The house is plumbed and ready for inspection! It was a ton of work to be completed that fast, but there was only one leak on the piping when we pressurized the house. Richard is a fairly new plumber, but is great at running water. Abi has 6 years experience doing rough in plumbing. I felt more like an apprentice this weekend but it was fun. We worked a full normal work day on Friday (6 a.m to 3 p.m.) then from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday we started the house. On Saturday we were there from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. We were spent, and it showed. Glad to be done, and it looks picture perfect!

Happy Wife, Happy Life!

My wife is spoiled! I went to garage sales this past Saturday, and ran into a lady selling stamp it up crap. I didn't buy anything when I was there, boy was that a mistake! I was sitting at home and Haley called me and did her little spoiled voice, asking why I didn't buy any? I told her she didn't need it, but she convinced me that I should get her some or I was dead! So I went back hoping that they were still out, and of course they were. I asked the lady how much she was trying to sell, and she went into the house and brought out three bags worth. Surrounded by women encouraging me that my wife needed all of them, I asked how much for everything? She first said $100.00 but I told her no that is too much, so she lowered it to $75.00 and I took the deal. I know what most of you are thinking, why spend that much on stamp crap? I felt the same way after I purchased it. When I got home I told Haley about it and so we went through her pricing books. Come to find out that all the stamps I purchased were around $450.00 originally. With all but a few being brand new I was much happier knowing we got a great deal, and my wife was really HAPPY! (You know what that means!)

Raise the Roof!

The framing is complete! On Friday (05/16/08) the windows and shingles will be put on. On Saturday and Sunday I will be plumbing the house. By the end of next week all the siding should be on and the inside will start to be put together!

Mothers Day Gifts

I made these for all my mothers for mothers day and I was very happy with the way they turned out.
