Dinner!!

John doing some soldering of the new pipes!

the old pipes....GROSS!!

The new recesses lighting in the bathroom

John doing some plumbing!!!

My lack of house updates are not due to the fact that we are not (or John and his dad) working on the house! God bless my father in law. He flew in last Friday and was suppose to stay 2 weeks. It's midway through and he extended his stay for 4 more days. He gets up, barely eats breakfast, and goes to the house. He works all day there and John meets him there after work. They work a few more hours and then they come home....usually not befor 9pm! He has my dad's car, so John gives him a job to do and he gets it done with an occasional trip to the Depot!!! This work would cost us thousands of dollars, so I am SO SO grateful for him being here. We tried to give him the night off on Friday, we were going to a wedding so if he wanted to come home early and watch the girls while we were gone, he could have the night off. He chose to continue working on the house. That should tell you how much work these 3 girls are:)

Their job this week has been all internal so there's not much progress looks wise, but the fact that the water running through my shower will be running through clean brand new pipes is worth it!! They have been doing plumbing and electrical all week. In true Ross fashion it is taking much longer than anticipated. The rotted out floor in the bathroom underneath the tile didn't help matters much. During his down time, my day laborer has befriended the construction people next door! He had them over for lunch and has them giving us a bid on a little remodeling!! His lunch break is breaking away from the plumbing and electrical and ripping the linoleum floor out of Kate's room!! I'm telling you I am so lucky!!!
