I love this photo!

Now we... keep moving forward

There is nothing left to take apart in the HOUSE anymore. From here on out its all installations. YAY! This picture is of our house yesterday morning before the foam. Everything is all nice and wrapped up. John spraying the foam.I don't know why, but knowing they used the soy based foam made me fell better. My husband wanted to totally fill the studs with foam but it would have been sooooooo expensive. Since we already have the yucky fiberglass stuff we had them spray only an inch of foam and we are going to reuse our fiberglass stuff on top.

Our igloo!

Ed reinstalling the fiberglass batts. We didn't get as much in as we wanted. We ran out of light and staples. I could tell within the first hour that is was totally worth it. There isn't a draft anywhere is the house and it held the heat very nicely.

Ah, I can almost smell the fresh paint

I had posted that picture of Aunt Nancy from home a few days ago. I believe it was taken last week. We had pulled all the insulation out of the house and Aunt Nancy stacked it in the basement. Not fun! Nancy and I also removed every piece of sheet rock from the walls and ceiling. Oh yeah, Uncle Ray helped too:) We really didn't have much left just around the pantry bathroom and one bedroom wall. We passed two more inspections yesterday- Framing and fire. We also got the OK to pour the basement floor in the addition. I think I'm more excited about finishing the kids playroom in the basement than finishing my living room or kitchen. Tomorrow they are spraying the closed cell insulation, then lucky us we get to bring all that fiberglass insulation back up and reinstall it. I'm still not sure if I want to paint a nice butter yellow or light coffee on the walls.... Um......I think it's time to to go down stairs for breakfast!

Oh yeah, the insurance company finally come through with the last check for the repairs on my car. If everything goes OK, I should be getting my baby back Thursday. Yay!!!!

I'm living out of a plastic garbage bag

Every thing we own is in plastic. Those large black garbage bags are my fanciest of luggage right now. We have been dismantling everything in the house and I mean everything. We passed our electric and plumbing inspections this past week. Monday we have our framing and fire inspections. Wednesday they are spraying the closed cell insulation. I'm excited! This time when we get the kitchen cabinets back on the wall that is where they are going to stay! I'm never taking those things out again.

I still haven't gotten my car back from the auto body shop. I miss my baby. It took a long time to get my seat shaped perfectly for my big butt. For some reason it took forever to OK the $1500 additional work (bent axle) that was needed. I did get a call from my insurance company that the other woman took full responsibility for the accident so that was nice.

Some more good news my husband came home with a new camera for me on Valentines Day. YAY! Ah, it feels so good to have a camera again. I love it! Love it!!!! I have been going crazy taking pictures of the kids. So look for lots of pictures soon....
