Day 44 – So Much To Do…And My Amazing Dad
Today was a busy, busy day. Dad and Bill came to re-route the sewer main and add a new drain for the furnace and new laundry location. My dad is a crazy work horse, he gets going on a job and just doesn’t stop and he always tells you that it is no problem. Yep, a no problem job that took him all day. Anyway, it looks fantastic and I am so thankful for him and his great work.
Before…
After…
It turns out that it will be well worth all of the work as the old pipe was corroded and thus sewage was seeping into the ground! Yeah! I knew that something wasn’t smelling as rosy as I expected it should yesterday. Anyway, inspection tomorrow and then concrete. I got back on the countertop and blind adventures and requested consultations from Costco for each. We have heard really great things from several people about the products and services for renovations from them so we are hoping for great things. The guy who did K & M.A.’s roof also came by today to estimate and since I called him only is morning, I was pretty pleased with him too. We’ll see.
Despite this, I think that we have unofficially chosen our roofer only 2 quotes in. The people who did R’s parent’s house have been fantastic so far and blew Great Canadian Roofing out of the water with their quote. Two more quotes to go but we really like this little company.
I dug to China to expose the gas line today and low and behold it is exactly where we need to dig one of the piles for the roof and deck supports. Super! We are looking at maybe doing some kind of bridge piles and hope that that will work. Ahhh, another call to Chad.
Finally, mom and I emptied both the eating area and the spare bedroom. All three dogs supervising was super helpful.
