To start of with the remodel is going as well as it can be. Considering that May 8th our contractor had a massive stroke. He is doing ok. No paralysis which is huge for a stroke but he is extremely week and having some memory problems. When he had the stroke he had our structure up and was about half way through the house wrap stage. The bottom windows where in but not the tip windows. So what do you do right? All I can say is its a good thing I am married to who I am. Luckily for us he was able to just jump right in and take over where he left us at.
So needless to say for the last month thier has been alot of stress at our house. So every night and weekend night we are doing something on the house usually until 11 or so at night.
Poor Gene he works all day then comes home and works on the house. I feel so bad for him I am trying to do what I can while he is gone to work but thier is not much i can do without him here.
Luckily for us over Memorial day weekend we had our wonderful friends from Roosevelt here. They had ball games for thier son but when they got done they would come to our house and help us.
Then we where the bad people and becouse they offered to stay and help us we sluffed church and literally worked our friend Troy to death. Tracy was amazing and while I was helping Gene and Troy and running errands and being thier gofer, Tracy was doing kids and cleaning my house. I need to just send a shout out to them for being such wonderful amazing awesome friends.
So we worked hard on Sun, I know its wrong but when you have free help and considering the circumstances we did it. Please don't judge me. You do what you have to do to get this done.
I am so glad that the Rohrers where here though. Tracy helped me get my carpet picked out, paint picked out and they talked Gene into going with a new vanity in our bathroom instead of using our old one. Troy also helped Gene figure out to make our closet organizer. Our contractor was going to design and build it. So with alot of thinking and talking and me making decision's. (I am the worst at making decisions.)
The only positive thing that has come out of this is that we are ending up saving money so we where able to hire a tile guy who is going to lay our tile and do some awesome layout with the tile. Have I mentioned how I am not very good at making decisions.
Thier is really not anything positive that can come out of someone having a stroke. We are trying to see the positive in this.
So for our memorial day weekend we literally worked out guts out. Tracy took the kids swimming on Sat night. Gene and I where starving so we ran up to lacasita we where so tired we couldn't even hold a conservation. We just sat and stared at each other. Then we came back and did more work on our house.
We are hoping to have carpet buy fathers day weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
Thier is tons more to write about everything else we have been doing but we will stop here for know. If your still with me. I will try and get some pictures taken and up on here.
