Speaking of budget we hit that terrible point. We have officially gone over budget. What was all ready a step cost has now increased to where am I gonna find this extra money?
As they were ripping down insulation in the entrance way they noticed it was wet and the roof overhead of it will now need to be replaced. So once you walk in there is nothing there but bad roofing and framing. No walls no insulation, its pretty chilly. But they won't put up any new insulation or wall until the roof is fixed, what would be the point. How am I gonna find the money for this?
He hung some lovely drapery to block out the cold for us. The kids think it is curtains to a stage. It is too funny to watch them make their entrance again and again.
With the walls and insulation down more history of the house was revealed. Apparently before they added on to the front it used to be a brick house, well a fake brick house.
UGLY. I hate seeing this on houses.
The wet plywood to the roof that will be replaced.
It just looks like such a mess. Such a house of compiled garbage material. This is not a house worth saving, restoring but it is our house and we have to. But rather than the beautiful renovations you see on HGTV where they restore it to the time period or its natural beauty we are hoping to improve it to safe, dry and usable. And the I want to sell it. We will probably have a rental on our hands.
On the bright side avoiding construction I went over to the computer and a message popped up to come have lunch with my son. Quickly Jay and I gathered our self's dropped Smiley at a sitters. We really enjoyed being able to spend some time and a nice lunch with our surprised son.
