What you cant see is the siding on the east end of the house and the HVAC, electical and plumbing inside...OH and the best part........my whirlpool corner tub!!!! Woooo hoooo!!

Its coming along...slowly and shurly. The barage of mishaps still come and go. OBD finished his series of epidurals, but unfortunately it seems as if they didnt really help as much as we hoped; he still gets his pains and numbness so I guess surgery is definately in the future. Most recently he had an accident at work and cut his finger and thumb bad enough to get stitches in both....the crazy thing is he still went on as if nothing happened.

Still he asks me to come out to help him and still all I do is stand around, hand him this board or that tool then stand around some more. It frustrates me... Finally though, I was able to do some painting and primed the porch...no more exposed wood. And as soon as we can actually decide what color we want the house, I can start painting the porch and siding.... I told him there was no way in HELL that I am going to stand on that roof to paint.... I'll do it before he hangs them. If its not obvious in the pictures, the pitch is way too steep for this girl.

Today he took his boys fishing.... Im so happy he's taking a break to be with them, they are so cute and love being with him so much. Im not sure if he will work on the house or not, but if he does.. Im wondering if he'll be able to finish the siding downstairs. Either way, I really hope that he does spend more time with those boys. Not that he doesnt pay attention to them..... just that when I look at my girls, it seems as if yesterday they were so young and so dependant.... now they are almost adults...sigh.

So whats next..... well hopefully he and his friends will finish the HVAC and electrical this weekend and then he can call for an inspection... the doors are in and can be put up but I havent decided if I want to paint /stain them first or not... and after that....drywall. Its getting close.. not the July deadline we were hoping for... but definately by the end of the year.... we cant wait.
