It's crazy around here

I am sorry that we have not added any pics over the last few days.  That's what happens when you are putting in 12 hours a day trying to wind things up.  If everything goes as scheduled we should finish up on June 8th.

The plumbers are set to finalize the install of sinks, toilets, tubs and such tomorrow.  The cool air is flowing from the vents and it sure does make it a nicer environment to work.  Thanks to my buds Al and Toby the hardwoods have been sanded.  There are several ways to know that you have a true friend.  If you call in the middle of the night and they come pick you up, you ask them to help you move and they don't hang up the phone and lastly, they spend their Sunday helping you sand hardwood floors.  I want to publically say thanks fellas!!!

Have you ever had a moment when you think what the hell am I doing, that was me today.  We spent over 40 hours sanding the hardwoods at Gifft Hill and today Mel and I took all kinds of implements of destruction and beat the hell out of the floors.  We used logging chains, hammers, boards with nails in them, crow bars, padde bits and small metal objects to pound those floors.  It was sort of fun and stressful at the same time.  This procedure is called distressing and Brent said that it was a must because we could never blend the old and new floors and get that furniture appearence.  The stain will go down Thursday and we will find out if all that hard work has paid off or if we are back a square one.

Check back Thursday for a happy update or tears.
