LIVING IN THE BASEMENT

6. being in my kitchen and turning around to workmen standing right behind me
7. having the sheet rocker walk in and lie down on my couch
8. looking like the neighborhood junk yard during construction - sorry neighbors!

it's really been a long haul for you guys. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. how much longer????
Almost done...deep breaths! It'll all be worth it. I say that but don't really believe it. :)
How can you fault the "roofer's" checkin you out? :) It will all be soooo worth it in while!
I just spent 45 minutes reading your entire blog-- loved reading about Bowen's adoption (you guys are amazing!), saw that your beautiful house is almost done and I spotted some LimeRicki's too :)! Oh, and Bowen's dance performance cracked me up!
I must admit that I was sceptical about this whole "live in the basement" plan... so I am very impressed that your family did it! You will appreciate your new home even more, and I am sure that the kids will always remember the year you holed up in the basement together!
Oh come on, you know your gonna miss those workers walking in on you while your trying to get dressed!
