The House Is Still Progressing

It seems like things are moving slower now but now that I am back to work I can't spend all day and night working there.  We are to the point of doing the little things like putting in the lights, trim cabinets and it all takes time.  The doors had to be painted twice because the first sprayer we used orange pealed the doors so it took me and my mom three days to sand them all back down.  I never thought we would get the paint off them.  Then when I looked at the pile of trim there was to paint I never thought we would get to the bottom of it but my dad and I managed to do it.  I love him and my mom dearly for helping me with it.  

    I will be so glad when we get this house done and we can move in,  It is getting to the point that I don't look forward to going over any more and I know that Delbert is starting to feel the same way.  He just wants to move in when the carpet is down and then just tinker  with the rest when he feels like it.  I was told by the Dr.  today that I have BVVP and that I can't bend over or look up  twist my head for the next  20 day's or so, so I am not much help to Delbert for awhile  due to the fact that I am very dizzy and weak.  Not a good thing when you are trying to get thing done so that you can move in.

So Brennan and Aden were down to help one day and to start off with Aden had cut his finger on a piece of tin and he was having a really tuff time with the pain and he was also really tired.  Then later in the day he was outside with me and he hit his head on a trailer and told me about it and never even cried so I never thought he bumped it to hard until a couple hours later when we sat down to have dinner when we saw the blood and this is what we found!!!

This is what we accomplished last Saturday 

Since the end of August we have been busy working on getting the trim painted, hardwood floor in and Delbert has been busy this past week starting the hang the cabinets.  Things are coming together on the inside.  We had the roof replaced last week on the shop and they will start on the house next week again thanks to the hail storm.  Delbert has been in better spirits since Tuesday since we found out that he isn't battling cancer, the cloud has been lifted.  He has Hemangioma.  They have found 4 growths on his liver and they will check it again in 6 months.

House is painted

Well since we have had the hailstorm and it has put things to a stop on the outside I got busy this past week and painted the inside of the house.  Delbert doesn't like to paint so my mother came up and helped a couple of day's and my father came up one evening.  I am not sure that I will ever have a shoulder or wrist again but I have it done.  I decided to paint the insides of the closets white so that if I ever decided to change the room colors I wouldn't have to paint them again.

So most of the house is one color except for two bedrooms that are a shade of yellow and the man cave is dark olive and one bathroom is sort of a light beige color and I will post bathroom picture later.

Video Of Hail Storm

Hail Storm 2012

Just when we thought we were making progress on the house we got hit with a severe hail storm tonight Thursday July 26.  I have never seen a hail storm like this before.  After the storm was over we were talking to the neighbor and he said that he is 64 years old and has never seen a storm like it before.  There isn't a car in town that was out side that doesn't either have a severely cracked windshield or windows completely broke out of it.  We were both working over on the house when it started to thunder and lightening and the wind started to blow and then there was this weird sound and Delbert said I think we are going to get a storm so we better put thing inside.  I no sooner got inside and I looked out the front window and I saw something large and white bounce off the front lawn, then I heard something hit the house, and then again.  All of a sudden there was large hail coming like crazy and Delbert was out back in the shed and all I could do was stand there and watch things on the house get damaged and think WHY.  We have worked so hard and now we have to start again.

Some of the Hail

I can't believe how big it is.  It would hit the lawn and then bounce up about 3 feet

I did have good looking tomato plant's before the storm

So much for New Eaves Trough .  They have only been on for two weeks.  They Hail split them open

The picture doesn't show what our truck looks like but this is  kind of what it looks like.  I will try and get a better picture

Broken rock that goes on the front of the house

Broken front window at Anderson's House, the place that we are house sitting for.  The sky light is also broken as well as all the roof vents.  Delbert said it looks like the shingles are going to have to be replaced.
