We had hoped we’d be moving in on this day.
HAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA!
Choosing not to dwell on the nagging feeling that we will never actually live in the house that we are paying a mortgage on, we trudged onward.
Marc decided to rip out all exterior-wall sheetrock to check for termite damage and since he was doing that we decided to add insulation. Sadly that meant removing the sheetrock that had been installed earlier in the week, but, in the long run it was a good call. The first task was to replace any boards that were severely eaten. Finally a bit of luck falls our way – the only boards that needed to be removed were about 40% of the bottom plates in that room. (See how well I’m not dwelling? Me = bright side)
While he was busy making sure that our walls didn’t fall down, mom and I cleaned and re-caulked the shower and tub. I may actually allow myself and my family to use it now.

The new caulk looks GREAT!! What a difference.
Wow, I just checked in after a week lapse. we are at Sea Ranch with Meredith and her gang and Mitsi and her boys. I can’t believe the trouble you’ve seen. But the bathtub looks great and Harrison’s room looks fab. Keep up the good work. Aunty Margaret
