Addition: Week 3

Josh has accomplished a lot of work on the addition this week. The inside is almost finished with the exception of a door, trim and some built-ins. He has been working until 9 or 10 every night, trying to get this wrapped up. Needless to say, I have been spending a ton of time with the boys. On Saturday, Josh offered to take them to his friends party so I could paint. Oh, what a glorious 3 hours it was!! Mindless painting was like heaven. Silence....no one talking...Lovely!

The boys, of course, still want to help Dad with everything. Mostly just driving him crazy with incessant questions. Most of which have nothing to with what he is work on. "Um, Dad, what if a T-rex and a beaver met? Would they be friends". This and other questions of this nature are slowly driving Josh insane. Now he just has to finish the outside.....

The best "helpers" a Dad could ever want.

Josh cut the hole connecting the new room to our bedroom. (Notice the mountain of dirty laundry to the left?) I refused to go to the laundry mat, knowing that the washer and dryer were coming on Friday. Ah, drywall, my new nemesis. I had the pleasure of helping Josh hang the drywall. Not a job I would ever want to do again. Plus, the dust has permeated my entire house. It is amazing how far that dust can travel. I've been dusting for days. My new washer and dryer!! I have never been so happy to buy an appliance. A real full size washer! Whoo Hoo! After the boys went to sleep tonight, Josh and I started putting up the closet organizers.
