Let it snow...

Sorry I didn't write last night - Jen and I went to a SNAME meeting, and I stayed with Jen and the kids; home late. David worked all night - he's a machine.

Since I last wrote... most of the nails pulled, the remainder of the insulation removed, some small boards (closets, laundry room) in the ceiling on the second floor removed. And yes, the blown insulation snowed down. 12 inches accumulated in my closet... A big thanks to Geoff and Craig who adventured to remove the boards in the second story foyer - David said I didn't pay him enough to do that. The dumpster is about full again - looks like 3 loads as I feared.

We had a small plumbing leak in the kids bathroom the past few days which has turned in to a fairly large leak - resulted in some plumbing shopping I wasn't planning; have some plumbing repair to finish when this post is finished. Also picked out the air compressor I want, but we checked another store for prices, and didn't get back to Sears in time to buy it before they closed. Tomorrow or Friday. We'll need the compressor to do the cleaning this weekend - a high pressure "air wash" was the ServePro plan (that I can't afford) that we'll try to replicate.

Tomorrow, we'll finally finish the ceilings, maybe finish the third floor stairwell, and get into cleaning full bore. Planning to take off work on Friday and get into a big weekend - lots planned - shopping Friday, planning, then plumbing, electrical, cleaning, framing the new pantry, and lots of paperwork.

I updated the schedule (or will in about 5 minutes) - we're about a week ahead of the original schedule. I didn't move the move-in date - but moved up all the work in front of it.
