Here We go again

Well we have been in the house now for 2 months and believe me we feel the strain every day of living and renovating a house completely. But we do manage and get through everything that we can with as little grieve as possible. So do catch you up on the house and what we have done in the last two months here we go.
So far we have stripped all the carpets and linoleum out, taken down all the chiprock in the ceilings and reframed walls. We have also insulated the entire house now and sound proofed the ceiling . Framed the new bathroom and waterproofed the floor in there. Put in a few new beams in the ceiling, had a new furnace, hot water heater, and central air installed. Also painted the front door and refinished the antique inside door. We also put in a front patio with pavers out front of the house. Stripped and refinished the old hard wood in the kitchen, demolished the old kitchen cabinets and set the new ones in place. Stripped all the paint off the old stair case, painted the out door shutters, relocated the trees and shrubs and plants and organized the flower bed. Taken down all the walls on the main floor and made our house open concept. This weekend Matthew worked and redid all the plumbing downstairs, this took him hours and hours, he was down there till 4am on Friday and then until 12am on Saturday, but he got it comlete and man it looks great and has improved our water pressure here now. I did all the drywall this weekend and worked outside in the back yard a bit. It was a really busy weekend for both of us. This week we also have a lot to do, we have to run plumbing for new bathroom which is now placed in between the two bedrooms up stairs. We have to install the new eaves on the outside of the house and finish the drywall, clean out the second bedroom and set up the bed in there for Marc when he arrives on Friday from Vancouver. Also have to build shelves and a hanging mechanism for Matthews closet in the master bedroom and then living will be a bit more comfortable. Also we need to start on our electrical.Fun , Fun ,Fun.....

On the other front, I have heard nothing from Mom, Dad, Charlene or Kory which is good. The stress from Charlene and Kory has almost sent me over the edge and just caused a lot of sleepless nights and unneeded stress in both Matt and my lives. It is hard to believe that I not only lost my little brother 3 weeks ago, but I have now also lost most of my family and this is a very sad thing for me.
The good news is I did get my three phone calls on my birthday, Patti called, thank you. Cheryl called and my new call to round out the three was my great friend Sandi. You all really made my day a bit brighter. thank you all for that and I look forward to this as my new three every year. Also for my birthday Wayne came over and took us out for dinner, amazing food and shitty service, but man it was great food.
Well I will be back later and write some more. We also did a time capsule for my younger brother. I drank a huge can of Bud Beer and we put some pictures of Brad in there, his obituary and an old Budweiser belt buckle that turned up in the house and put it in one of the new walls. Have a great day everyone and talk to you soon.
