SEPT. 4 UPDATE: Siding's here!

We had heard that the siding crew was supposed to show up Tuesday. Well, Tuesday became Wednesday, Wednesday became Thursday, Thursday morning became Thursday afternoon ...

... and then they showed up! But not to work yet, apparently. They were only here to help unload the Town and Country truck. They are working on shingling at a neighboring farm first, but hopefully that will only take them a few days.


Dave has been taking a few days off from the "housework" (ha, ha) after his intense Labor Day weekend of work with his dad. They got quite a bit planned out, and quite a bit done, but it's never as much as they hoped ... ah, well. Reality gets in the way of the best laid plans sometimes.


The breaker box is in!

And the stove is wired. That's the biggest wire in the house, apparently.

... From here, I've got a lot of details to think about, and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed trying to make good decisions about it all. So we're trying to focus on just a few things at a time: So for now I'm shopping for a tub, and looking at tankless water heaters.

OK, Erik says I'm done for now!
