Hyper Reno - Week 5 (aka Money Pit Part Deux)


The move this weekend went smoothly. That is after we hired movers at the last minute. The painting and trim is almost done (thanks to Justin, his girlfriend, mother & Dale). And despite the fact that there was no washer/dryer and no running water in the kitchen (the porcelain sink was scratched and needs to be returned), we're good.


We even got to the lake for Canada Day fireworks.


But yesterday morning we had a bit of a hiccup. We woke up to water dripping on the dining room table and a sewer backup. So last night I took the kids to Donna's and claimed reno refugee status. We all slept in the same bed.


Ben & FG are pretty tossed around these days but they're hanging tough. Yesterday, when I got them from school Ben asked, "Whose house are we going to for supper?"


Today, a little Kubota tracker is digging up the backyard. Hopefully we'll be back on track this weekend.
