Rambling thru life

Work is progressing... More plastic was hung today. A seal coating was then applied. The humidity in the house is high. The fumes can be a bit much.... Its kind of like being in a submarine again. But we are surviving. We went out for dinner tonight with our neighbor friends. They treated us. What a great couple they are. Is anyone out there following this enduring adventure?

The contractor (James) arrived today, just a little later than expected. He jumped right to work and started hanging plastic onto everything. LoriAnn wanted new wall coverings, but I don't think this is what she expected. It looks kind of surrealistic. It appears that James hung plastic in all area's that he could reach.

In an effort to help the economy get better, LoriAnn and I have hired an independent contractor to come to our home and install a new ceiling throughout half of our house. Ok, we really aren’t that progressive. The fact that the ceiling needs repair is the real reason for the effort. We plan to have the Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room, Upper Bedroom, and office ceilings worked on. To facilitate this, we moved all of the furniture, boxes, TVs, and other stuff – either to the basement or the garage. Its hard to believe that all of our worldly belongings have fit either into our basement or into the Garage. We are so thankful for the help that we got from my daughter Megan, brother Steve and a good friend Tom. We plan to live in the basement while upstairs is being work on. It'll be a tight fit but we should be able to get a good night sleep or relax and watch TV. LoriAnn will try to work while the contractor is here. If it gets to loud or noisy, she has a neighbor willing to let h
