Is This It For The Week?

First off I didn't want to post this late but I was having fun trying to hook up a wireless internet connection.When I say fun of course I mean that sarcastically!

Today we had some activity going on around here,which was nice to see.The only question that remains now is,will they be back tomorrow or is this it for a few days?Those of you who have been reading the blog since I started it, know that we have not had two days of consecutive work take place around here,so we will see what tomorrow brings.If anything?

Let's take a look at some pictures and see what did go on today...

You can see the boards that have been bolted to the foundation and are getting ready to be framed upon,or something like that.No that is not toilet paper you see hanging there but some type of what looks almost like a foam that goes under the boards. 

This is another picture of the boards from a different angle.I was told that bolting these boards on to the foundation is a time consuming part of the job.And I am sure they really enjoyed working  in the blistering heat,but had everything gone as was first planned they would have been done this part a few weeks ago,when the heat wasn't as bad as it is now.But that point is irrelevant now.Moving on......

Here is a close up of one of the bolts.I don't know why I thought you needed to see that? But I did.Really hope you enjoyed that close up.

What we have here is this freshly painted support beam.This beam was painted today and was a pretty rusty colour before, but now look how nice it looks.The great thing about this beam is that it means that we won't have three posts in our basement to carry the load of the addition, which will free up space in the basement.All for the price of only $2500. You can see the nice pile of junk that has been laying there for a month now.Our house has looked like such a disaster area for a month that we keep having people offer their homes to us.They feel bad when they drive by and see the mess that they want us to move in with them. 

My parents of course being the main ones,since they live across the road and get too enjoy looking at the mess as much as we do!

With the arrival of the baby in less then one month, the yard looking like it was bombed or something,the house looking like it's about to be condemned  and to add on top of that, it's tourist season around here which is driving me nuts!Nothing against people who want to travel and stuff but it's hard to go to work and deal with people from out of the area asking 50 thousand questions,then go home to the disaster that has become our life.On top of all that worry about my wife and how the delivery is going to go since I will be here and she will be 6 hours away.

Oh ya and money!How could I forget that??

With my wife going on maternity leave, money is going to be tight......real tight!

I'm almost at my wits end and don't know if I should cry,scream or pull my hair out??

On that note I going to end this post and I hope you enjoyed the pictures and my almost mental breakdown!! 

Tomorrows another day!Hopefully better!
