Here's a quick catch-up of our week so far:
VA Blizzard 2010 version 1.0 (aka, Sunday the 7th). Our neighbor had someone plow his drive-way & he kindly did ours as well! We were ever-so-grateful... shoveling 250 feet of 30" deep snow was not how either of us wanted to spend the afternoon! :) Please note, in the far right side of the photo, you can still see the little yellow car... remember this for reference later. :)
Last night Peter started hanging the drywall around the plenum ~
Story-time: Dozer sleeps down in the basement at night since he has a tendency to want to play every.single.morning at 2am. His owners aren't too fond of that habit - so the basement has been the perfect solution! We let him out when we're ready to rise-and-shine rather than when he is. :) However, due to the current demolished state of our kitchen, the wall that separates the kitchen and the basement stairs is open and exposed. We figured, no-big-deal, he can't jump that high anyway.
WRONG. He can.
We learned this at 2am on the dot this morning.
Solution? One piece of plywood nailed over the open area.
Viola. Aaah ~ sweet sleep. :)
Peter tore out the toilet & sink in the bathroom today also. GROSS. I know I didn't HAVE to post this picture, but it will remind me of how much better things are when they're re-done! :) (P.s.: That moldy subfloor WILL be replaced. So will the cabinet.)
..just like the section below! This part of the entryway was soft and flexed a considerable amount when it was walked on. P. cut the soft section out~
~and replaced it with new! :)
Enter VA Blizzard 2010 version 2.0 (aka Wednesday the 10th). As if the weekend blizzard wasn't enough... more of the white fluff descended on us today. Remember how you could see the little yellow car in the first photo? Not anymore! Today's blizzard brought high-gusting winds (think > 40mph) ALL day, drifting the snow & piling it up next to anything in its way.
Shoveling the drive... must go to work tomorrow... :(
P. called my little snow gal "squat". I think she just has big hips. :)
I better get some dinner on the table. Send some warm thoughts our way... I'm hoping we can thaw out one of these days!

I can't believe how much snow you guys are getting! Crazy! Thanks for keeping us updated. :)
Snowed in with all that time to remodel... :) I'm beginning to think that you all like to live in a perpetual state of destruction. And my grandson abolished to the cold, dark basement at night...?? Having to jump several feet up with a bad hip to seek warmth and love... pobre gatito!
<3 :)
Hilarous Gramma Diana!:)
You guys are so ambitious! Don't ya love the ripping and tearing part??
