Schlumpy

It's been a month now, and the weather is colder than Illinois. Water everywhere. Actually, water everywhere EXCEPT my bathroom. It's been a month now, the end of the tunnel is soooooo far away. Sleep upstairs. Pee downstairs. Microwave downstairs. Eat upstairs. If I can pee while waiting for the microwave, then I feel very efficient.


This is my entertainment center. So sad.


The new water heater is hung, but not hooked up yet. This is supposed to be super energy efficient and halve my gas bill. Which will go from $9 to $4.50. Woo Hoo! So that means it'll pay for the additional upfront cost 12 years from now.


And this giant clunker gets tossed away.


This contraption holds up the second floor above old kitchen area so poles won't get in the way when they pour the new floor over the old one. I'm very proud that I figured this out all by myself.


They had to redo the formwork for the foundation because of all the rain. The soil caved in from all the rain. 7 inches yesterday. 11 inches in 6 hours last week. The stop lights are still flashing red today. Kind of a mess in the neighborhood right now. But I'm getting lots of compost making material that washed down from the trees.


The outside staircase will get it's own footing.


They spent a lot of time this morning digging out the dirt that collapsed into the moat. It's all schlumpy.
