Happenings!

Tomorrow! The restoration starts tomorrow. It will be the boring stuff at first, insulation, plywood, sheetrock; then the fun stuff! We're going to choose a new vanity tomorrow and, at our own expense, a new top and taps. DH says there is no point putting the old stuff back on a new vanity. What else? Hmmm ... flooring! No carpet, thank you very much - I'm going for tile or wood. There will be a paint color to choose but OMG, I wish there were only two colors to pick from because I take forever to make up my mind. DH says 'white'. I don't think so.

I bough a new Shop-Vac today, and a new power nozzle for the vacuum - couldn't fit a compressor in the car. Other BIG thing to pick out will be a bed/mattress and computer desk AND ... because computer desks are not designed to accommodate honking big monitors (like mine - five hundred pounds and extends six feet in the back) I'm buying a new flat panel monitor because I still have money left from Christmas. YAY!

Update

The contract for the "put back" has been awarded and I am waiting for people to invade the house once again. In the meantime, here are pictures of the cuteness that is our grandbrats. Miss Jane (11 mos) is walking all over the place and even managed to stay upright on the gravel in the driveway. Elliot (4 1/2) is feeding sunflower seeds to a lizard. No doubt there is a dinosaur nearby.

Progress?

Yes, progress. At least everything is dry now. We ( and the claim adjuster) are waiting for a second estimate on REconstructing everything.
