Waiting

I am waiting very patiently for our kitchen to get started.We decided to hire my brother in law (who is a carpenter) to work on our kitchen.He is currently finishing another job in a different state so it will be another week or so.In the mean time I feel very on edge.The house is a disaster and the stress is building up.The other day it rained really hard and guess which room was leaking???? Of course the KITCHEN!!!!!!
So we will have to have him patch the roof or whatever you do.More $$$$$$$$$$$. Other than that I am still here enjoying other peoples blogs!!!!!!

Kitchen Mess

Our kitchen is still a mess!!!! We are in limbo.Trent was thinking he would hire someone to dry wall the ceiling, but now he says he will do it himself.So hopefully this weekend we can start buying the drywall. I can not stand the mess!!!!! It has scattered to other rooms in the house. I also have little time .My kids are homeschooled and we are very busy with school work.Today my oldest attended a job fair and so we did some school work in the car waiting for him.( it took about 2 hours)This is a day in my life.Isn't it fun!!!!!

Why????

Well, I wrote previously how we started demoing the ceiling.This is what we found!!!!!

The sky is falling down!!!!

Ok,so it is not the sky but our kitchen ceiling!!!!!!! We finally started tearing down the ceiling and it is a mess!!!!The plan is to raise the ceiling and leave the exposed beams but it really depends on what we find when we remove the lathes to see what is there.To say we are living in chaos is an understatement,we are starting new schooling,have clients here so this is not ideal.Hopefully it will look great .I'll keep you posted !!!111

Books have taken over!!!!!!

This was the first week of school for us and it was hectic!!!!!!! We are homeschooling
3 of our kids and WOW it is a lot of work!!!! I homeschooled before but we are using a different program so I have to get used to the new system.Anyway,I still have to finish painting my sons' room.It was really humid here so I thought I would wait for the weather to get better!!!! Now I really don't have any free time.I will post pictures when I get a chance.
