treeskinSalvage Guy was out with his crew yesterday. Got some stuff done, not nearly as much as we'd hoped. He **says** he may be out tomorrow, and this weekend for sure. I'll believe it when I see it.
By's got to order more j-channel for the siding to continue, so that's at least two weeks away from being finished. Dammit. There's one window left to complete, in the back bathroom, and the back door needs replacing. The storm door has been mounted in the doorway of the new front porch, which still needs steps and the rest of its roof. The insulation and sheathing is done except for about a third of the east side of the house, and a lot of that will get finish plywood and painted, since it'll be inside the three-season porch that is currently the back deck. Oh, and the back decks wants the roof finished and its walls done. So lots still to do.
By finally got the hole around the hose bib bailed out, pipe installed over the valves, and the hole filled back in. Yay! Now we can just take off the cap and turn the water off at the valve instead of digging a 4' deep hole through clay. Double yay!
We gave up trying to get The Bug to sleep in The Miss's room, and moved the big crib out to the front hallway where he's been sleeping. Which left room in The Miss's bedroom for the lime green papasan chair that she fell in love with at Goodwill on Sunday. (We were there for shoes. Really.) I keep going back during her naps to see if she's sleeping in her new chair, but she hasn't so far. But she loves the thing, and it's sturdy enough to last through her childhood.
Am making bagels today, because my family is spoiled. Pumpkin spice bagels, which I posted earlier today, and I'm also trying the cranberry orange bagels from the Taste of Home "Healthy Thanksgiving" issue By found at the store. If they're good, I'll post that recipe too.
