AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH...........

Sorry to have been absent for the better part of the past 2 weeks.

We've had some things done to the house.  And well that has just about done me in.  Well that was probably an exxageration.

Starting last Tuesday and lasting until yesterday(there was a delay due to snow and a sick husband) we had our house completely rewired.  Completely.  Every receptacle and light is new. Unbeknowest to us our house had been wired with EXTENSION CORDS.  Yeah, you read that correctly.  That of course had to go.  Now we are back up to code.  And even better we can run the microwave, coffee pot, washing machine, and my hair dryer at the same time.  We couldn't do that before because our house has some crazy wiring and that would cause the breakers to flip.

And today, our house is being insulated.  Our house is 70 years old and besides the things we've done to it in the last 3 years it has had very very few upgrades.  The time has come for insulation.  It was kinda drafty but not anymore.  And if you've never seen a standing house insulated, well then, you have missed a treat.  They don't roll out the insulation.  Oh no.  It is sprayed in with this super long tube thing that kinda looks like a dryer vent.  It's a pretty cool process. Clayton has loved watching men go in and out of the attic.  And they have a "big truck" so he's impressed by that.

That's been our life for the past 2 weeks. It's almost over now and I have a solemn vow from my husband that this is the last improvement/upgrade for a long time.  I certainly hope so.  We have to clean up and then I have to head out to the grocery store before the impending doom(snow, ice, sleet, or whatever we're getting) gets here.
