Current View


It's kind of a long story, but we are currently working through some permit issues that have halted most progress. All of a sudden there are issues with the city Public Utilities Division regarding our basement laundry room. They don't want to approve it unless we redo our main sewer line that we have no issues with and also runs underneath the entire length of our driveway. Digging out our sewer line under our driveway and then replacing both is definitely not in the budget that is now already empty. I'm learning why so many people do work on their homes without getting permits and the city involved. So I am spending the time doing electrical wiring. Today I hung the main level lights and have almost finished all the dining room and main level bedroom wiring. It's fun to see it come together but we now have less than four months to get this done.

80% What?

Our doctor was 80% sure that one of our upcoming additions to the family was a girl. In her defense, the kid wasn't giving her what she needed to give us that 100% assurance. We had our first comprehensive ultrasound last week and found out that we are having twin boys! Everything looks really good as far as their development and health. I guess we're going to have a house full of boys running around. So far Marta's parents have six grandkids - all are boys.
