November 4, 2012

Outside Temp: 52 F (beautiful day, again.  A little breezy and chilly at times, but perfect for getting projects done before the snow!)

What I cooked today:
Greek Chicken Soup with Orzo: Patrick loves this soup and with it being a little chilly, and him working so hard outside, I thought I'd spoil him with soup.  Ahhh, it seems that winter is starting to think about showing up.

Update:
My husband and his father are totally awesome!

First, they installed the dishwasher that has been sitting in my front room for almost 2 weeks.  Of course, it was missing a part, but everything else is hooked up and it seems to run (or will as soon as we hook up the water).  Now, the kids have a new box to play in!

Second, they fixed the plumbing in my second bathroom, again.  They looked around under the house about a month ago, trying to get it to work.  Today, they brought down the laser level and shimmied up the plumbing line, so that the water in that bathroom actually drains correctly!  Woo hoo!  A second toilet!  You have no idea how annoying it is with a family of 6 and one toilet. 

Then, they put on the skirt to the house.  About a month ago, when they were working on the plumbing, they removed the skirt in the front of the house.  We found that it was the original plywood, and had no (and I mean no) insulation.  So, they picked up some insulation, and new plywood boards.  Today, after completing the other 2 projects, they put the skirt back up.  It actually looks much better and hopefully, the insulation will make a difference when the snows hit.

Woo hoo!  The big housing projects are done!  And, I managed to get another 5 loads of laundry done.  It just wouldn't be a Sunday unless there were multiple loads of laundry to complete.
