Where's the old Condo??

Blaine, Blaine, Blaine.....I have been asking that question for twelve months!!!!! I ask Blaine to shovel the driveway and he flips out! Life is tough for these youngters. He collapses on the yard but when its time to play, he's the energizer bunny!!

We have HEAT

Thank you Fardo's for loaning us your heaters for all these very cold months. Michael only got frostbitten once or twice. We would have froze or been living with my in laws!!! Not sure which sounds worse.... ha just kidding.

Actually. I do not know what I would do without them. They have been amazing this whole time...there are so many days that I am so rushed or crazed that my wonderful mother in law does our laundry, cleans up sawdust, lifts heavy furniture or just helping watch kids so we can work on house..

We are so happy to return the heaters because the radiant heat was the biggest and hardest portion of this renovation. I thought Zan was gonna "lose it" a few times. He is the most patient guy I know! He would stay on top of the whole project and it took weeks (seven) instead of (two) but it paid off!!! It's done and it works!!!

Fun in our Yard

The kids had a blast playing in the yard building snowmen. The weather is perfect. 48 degrees

Santa arrived Christmas Eve

Santa arrived on Christmas Eve Day to deliver our front door steps!!! We are so excited to have them, the kids hopped on the porch to get a quick picture before he had to leave for a long nights work.......

Wacky box of wires

Can you imagine being the plumbers that had to run all the water tubes throughout the whole house and then connect them all to this home base unit? I just hope it all works!

Sheetrock...did you ever think it would come

Believe it or not, we are finally getting our sheetrock installed. We are truly getting to the end of this project. When the guys showed up to deliver it, we woke up to a really loud truck backing into our driveway. The crazy part is that we had to jump out of bed so fast because they were about to pull over our newly planted yard after our huge rain storm. People are nuts! You must keep a close eye on everything and everyone at all times!!!

So far, the sheetrock is moving fast, almost too fast. Zan had to take a day off because HE had not ran all the wires through the wall that we wanted.

Before too long, you will see my parents here painting!!!!

Blaine Helping Dad

Zan was running wires for all the thermostats and Blaine was his helper. Blaine had to pull all the wires up to each floor so the plumbers can hook it up to the Radiant Heat.
