Morning everyone!! Brrr....

Kitty, hope DIL has a Happy Labor Day!! Wow, those are big twins!! Hope everything goes well and the babies are in your arms tomorrow all pink and with that wonderful smell...ahh...

DH and I still haven't signed the contract to get the remodel of the flood damage done!! It's been 3 months of living with holes in the walls and exposed joists, etc. We asked a plumber to come in yesterday to estimate how much adding a bathroom and switching the present bathroom around would cost. The remodel company wants oodles of cash just for the plumbing...

so our place probably won't be back to it's former self by the holidays...ugh. It smells dusty from all of the wallboard being torn out and the carpets are musty from the water damage. DH has been busy taking up the vinyl flooring planks in the basement. The underlayment got wet when the water poured into the basement and got full of mildew He rolled up the underlayment and washed off each plank. Now he's almost ready to relay the flooring. then once the plumbing is finished he can put up the new ceiling tiles and get the basement finished, at least.

Our cabin has been knocked down and footings for the new structure were poured last week. The foundation walls were supposed to be poured this week, but northern WI got up to a foot of snow, so that probably won't happen any time soon...

LOL crazy things are occurring in our lives right now...but all is good. The kids are all right, the grand babies are great, and we love one another. Who could ask for anything better?

Have a great day, everyone
