July 28, 2009: Sheet rock arrives
Well, I can’t say that today was not a stressful day. I will say that being up at the farm was actually the least stressful part of the day. I love being up there when it rains. 🙂 Glad the flooding missed us by 5 miles. We had 0.08" at the farm, but areas a few miles north had 2-3" of rain in an hour or two. Pretty wild. Looks wet in the days to come.
The best part of today was being attacked by hundreds of ants that had made a nest in the mailbox at the farm. I pulled the mail out and all of these little black ants landed all over me. They started biting me and swarming. Was not the most exciting thing I have experienced front the insect world lately. Did you know there are a lot of bugs in the country?
So – let me see. Today they brought all of the sheet rock into the house. They put the french doors on the second floor front of the house – they put the last window on the top floor – they brought the spiral staircase up – the insulation is finished (I believe) – and the heating and air is almost finished. Last few touches made on that today.
Everything is moving along.
My finals open on Saturday – so I am in between tests. Then I leave next weekend for my big final exam review. Woosh – time is moving along.
Took some photos – all the house photos can be viewed on this site click here
