March Madness

It's here! Dave has been getting so excited about this weekend as it is his favorite weekend of the year! 32 college basketball games...what sports fan isn't in heaven this weekend!  

we heart it

 Oh wait, that could be Dave. We booked a few projects for the house for Thursday last week because we knew Dave was planning to be home to watch the games (and we really needed to get some of these things done before the twinkies arrive. He thought he could watch the games while all the work was being done. Well...we live in a house that is 80 years so there were bound to be a few issues. When we had the front door replaced what is usually about a 3 hour job became a 10 hour job! 

Many of the projects you can't see but here they are...

• Foundation repair...one of the beams was rotten (I guess you can expect that after 80 years) and needed replaced. It isn't good when you can stand in the dining room and bounce like you are on a diving board.
• There will be a 2nd phase to this project as it needs to extend below the back room that was added on
• 2 new ceiling fans...they are already making a difference since it is getting into the 80's
• 1 new outdoor light
• plumbing issue in kitchen &  laundry room
• there turned out to be a gas leak in the water heater so we had to get a new one of those too!
• dryer vent replaced
• capped off a gas line

Somehow they were done by about 6pm that day and Dave barely was able to see any of the games. Hopefully he can spend a little time watching the rest of the weekend! Not that it matters but both of our NCAA brackets are a mess. Boo!
