Day 3

Why is Hugs smiling so big?Because there are 2 little kids loving on him!

Is it only day 3? I guess day 4 if you count the whirlwind trip to IKEA. We took the morning off. Trey came to play for a few hours while his Mom & Dad were in the city, and we all had a great time.

Katie loves having her friends over to play.

Made good progress on the addition after Trey went home and Katie went to nap at Grandma's house. Jeremy got the ceiling torn down (2 layers of it!), and we discovered that it's worse than we'd thought so we're going to have to replace the insulation. So that'll set us back a day or two and it'll leave me painting solo, as Jeremy leaves for camp in a couple days. Hopefully we can get the insulation & ceiling board up by then, but I don't see why not. We also got the old linoleum torn up off the floor.
Here's what I did. Besides phoning people about insulation and sheetrock and carpet and linoleum. We'll use the leftover bits of insulation from the ceiling in there to help with the soundproofing.

I think Andrew's excited at the prospect of all this work being done before he gets home, but it's not as though I can be tearing the ceiling apart while he's working in there. And I certainly couldn't have been hammering the closet apart when he's on the phone. Which is all the time. I'm excited to have it done too, even with the little bit that we've accomplished so far, the room has a much different feel to it. It's fantastic.

Stay tuned. Tomorrow morning I have to go to the dump to empty the old ceiling and flooring out of my truck so that I can put the sheetrock and insulation in. Katie's going to Costco with Grandma (I am going to owe her big time by the time we're done!) and Jeremy and I are going to tear out the old insulation and hopefully get the new stuff in. Should be tons of fun! Then I'm taking off a few hours in the evening and going riding at the Squair S (that's where Charlie is.).
