Sorry we were away for a while or I was anyway but we are back at it.

The good news is that the town has decided to fix our street this year.  We were quite surprised at this because we were going to ask the town when it would be done.  The street was in such terrible shape but with the sidewalks in it looks better already.  They will pave it early next month so it will justify the raise in our property taxes.

We are working at drywalling the main level but had to put it on hold because we need the venting inspected before we can close it in.  Lisa will do that tomorrow and then we can move on.

In the interim we are laying tiles in the two bathrooms upstairs.  It has not been going well since the floors are not completely level and it is taking hours to get one done.  I have been doing the grouting afterwards and that allows Brian to go off and do something else.  The walls in both bathrooms will not be easy and will have to wait until the drywall is done.

We did find the rest of Brian's Ikea shelving so we don't have to panic about getting units that look the same.  What a relief since the thought of looking for what we needed was not making either one of us happy.

I still hope to have a kitchen before winter hits again.  Although we still do not have the parging for the outside so we can put siding up, and no one to put siding up either.  Brian still thinks he and I can do it but I am not happy about working on ladders.  I don't like heights.

We are moving forward but slowly.

Really don't like working with this stuff.

Brian removed this pipe from the old dining room so more repairs to be done.
