Just a quick update today... before the thunder rolled in at 4pm, this much was done:
We are hoping to go out this weekend with the girls and my DSLR and get better shots. We're also hoping may they will work on Saturday to make up for all of the missed, bad weather days. But even if not, my husband wants to get some shots of the pipes in the basement in case he wants to dig up the concrete in the future for a wet bar. :)
His current project digging down under our current house to install a sump pump is apparently inspiring him for future concrete demolition projects.
Thankfully, our buyers are good with our sump pump solution to the dye test. Everything is clear then for us to close on August 9 and move in with friends. We've invited them over to our house tomorrow to figure out logistics as far as cooking, cleaning, groceries, etc. If anyone has any experience with extended living with friends, I'm all ears for advice! We're hoping this is a 2-3 week thing at most.
We are living with my husbands parents while we build. It's been ok, but we've been with them since February 15th, EEEK!
ReplyDeleteMy advice is to ask them up front how much they want you to pay for your portion of bills....we did that before we moved in and that part has been non stressful. The stressful part is having 2 kids destroy everything ;) It's just not enough space...but in the end , it's worth it!
Wow, February!! God bless you! ha ha
DeleteWe did talk about grocery and household supply shopping but not really utilities, so good advice! Our friends have an almost 2-year-old girl so with 3 little girls under 5, it's going to be a ear-splitting adventure. :)
