Where do I begin? LIGHTS!!! The electrician (Pete Horan) came today for a walk thru....Joe, myself, Pete and one of his workers walked thru the whole house (existing and new) and plotted where everything will go. It included everything from switch plates and electrical sockets to the recessed lights and all the other lights we are getting. Once we did that..they got to work.
ACTION!!! Joe left and I decided to clean my car. I got Ava ready and we went outside...she loves playing in the trunk while I clean the car (it's an SUV....I don't put my daughter in a real trunk....although some days I'd like to..just for an hour or so! KIDDING!!!!). She wanted me to put the music on, and I realized the keys were inside. I locked her in the car, ran in to get the keys and as I was heading out the electrician was running in asking for wet paper towels and ice....b/c someone got hurt. He seemed pretty worried, so I ran back in...grabbed a Ziploc with ice, he grabbed the paper towels ...and he explained a nail gun fell on one of the worker's heads! OMG!!!!! I had to get back to Ava though......with my spare set in hand...I opened the car door, and she had the music playing....she found my keys, hidden in the car and turned the ignition on (just to the part where the music comes on..she didn't start the car)! SHE'S TWO!!!!!!! Now do you see why some days I'd like to put her in the trunk for a little while? OK back to Mike (the injured)....so he was finishing the roof (which was started yesterday) and somehow the nail gun he was using fell and hit him on his head pretty bad. They got the bleeding to stop, and aside from a headache he seemed fine..and wanted to get back on the roof to finish (THAT'S DEDICATION!). His only problem was he wanted to keep the cut clean, and the gauze wasn't staying put....they had already come up with taping gauze on his head, but he was worried it would pull his hairs out, so when he mentioned tying something...it clicked....I have tons of ribbons (pretty ones) in my wrapping paper stuff!!!! Being an accessorizor ( think I made that word up)....I ran downstairs and grabbed all colors, shapes and sizes of ribbon...so we could find the right fit! I even brought out a Christmas bow and a birthday hat...I wasn't sure which "look" he wanted! We found a nice grey/silver silk ribbon....tied it on his head and topped it off with the green bow! It was perfect...back to work her went and it stayed put for the rest of the day! Of course we all thought it was funny....but I have to admit I was so worried about him...I'd keep checking on him (out my window) to make sure he was OK...but every time I'd giggle to myself...seeing a man with tattoos and a ribbon tied around his head is just FUNNY! Good news...he seemed OK...Bad news...I didn't get a picture of him! :(
OK...the day ended with the roof being done (YAY!) CAMERA!!!!
and a bunch of electrical sockets and stuff being installed. No wires or anything like that, yet...but recessed lighting, the electrical boxes all on the first floor was started! LIGHTS!!! (again)
Kitchen gets gutted tomorrow.
Basement floor being worked on (not poured til Friday)
"Gang Bang" -- still waiting on this b/c Bob never showed up! But everyone got a good laugh about it today......especially with Mike all dolled up in ribbons! :oP
