let's get our hands dirty!





The work has begun! I kicked it off by tearing up carpet a day before any of the workers got there. I didn't plan on doing it at that point in time (as you may see from the clothes I'm wearing)...I just couldn't contain myself anymore! Also, I tried to take pictures on Tuesday of things like the bath tubs in the front yard, smashed tile, ect. but my phone turned off every time I hit the button to take the picture (and yes, I was hitting the right button...it just hates me).

The workers that I have met so far consist of the electrician and the plumber. The electrician or at least one of the workers is so wonderful! He speaks Spanish and some broken English so trying to communicate all day was a little rough but we made it work. He kept offering to help me rip up carpet if I needed more help (I obviously looked like I needed help since he kept offering) he just has such a good spirit to him. The plumber is hilarious. A white haired man with overalls and a funny sense of humor.

Tuesday I was having what I'll call, "new home bliss"...I was so in love with everything, the workers, all the problems with the house, how we could fix them, the potential. And I can honestly say that, I don't know if that will happen again. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO!!!!

We'll get there. Everything is moving pretty quick! We'll be done in no time.

If there are typos...I didn't reread this. ...I'm in a strange mood.
