The work continues

***Disclaimer***
In order to save you from being disgusted some images have been removed from the the telling of this story.


I've been busy - and not busy blogging. Art finally quit working in Salt Lake and moved to Logan. It's so wonderful to be together again. I didn't miss his mess making or laundry - but I truly missed getting to spend my time with him, and cuddling up to him at night. It's really handy that I married someone who makes me laugh and smile every day.
ok -enough sappiness.
The work continues - just at a slower pace than we would like. You see, this week we discovered some mold in the kitchen, and a rotten sub floor, and a broken pipe that had caused some mold in the basement. (This is where I do not add photos) All preexisting conditions that were not disclosed by the sellers. We've been trying to figure out our options as the sellers are liable to repair the damage - or at least their insurance is...well, anyhow - it's irritating and complicated and has slowed down the work in the kitchen because we have been trying to solve that issue, and we couldn't put in boxes until the plumbing was fixed. We haven't really even opened the can of worms that is the basement laundry and bathroom - I'm trying to pretend they don't exist.
We're hoping to get a lot of work done in the week between Christmas and New Years when we are both off work and school. However, we determined that in order to have any sort of an enjoyable holiday we needed to leave Logan and the house. So we are in Salt Lake for the weekend and are enjoying lazy days and no measuring. Ah, the luxuries.
More pictures to come as work progresses!
