If BigGuy had a Hammer

Well, BigGuy does have a hammer - he just wishes he could go down and use it. Only he is afraid that he will get in the way. On a daily basis we have about 3 men hammering away - on Friday BigGuy wanted to join in - I think - he said he did - he could have asked to join, but he never did - so maybe he wants to just in spirit. Soon enough he will get to do some of the work that we bargained out for pricing. There is so much noise in our house lately that I don't even know how much noise the children are making. When some shattering noise occurs I don't run down the steps. I also don't walk around in my pj's and I am generally showered by 7am. The work in the basement started last Tuesday. The jackhammering lasted a day (that was a treat) and then the hammering has continued (much liked in comparison to jackhammering). One plumbing glitch occurred - or rather it was ongoing and it was found because of the work on the house (yea!) - there were no extra costs because of it and now we know that our sump pump works and that our home is no longer sitting in water. Babers is getting used to the hammering - although he still prefers to sit on the furniture as high up as he can get (kitchen table is preferred by him) because it keeps his feet off the vibrating floors (from hammering). As we cleaned to get ready for them to come in we realized that in only 5 months we have accumulated big pieces of stuff and relaxed out of the boxes with our own stuff. So back into the boxes - most of the big new stuff was left by the old owners (things we fancied keeping) - we lost a garage bay, but we will get it back before snow and stuff comes (yea for snow!!!). I will wait another week to take more pics. Tony is going to be doing electrical the rest of the week and the dry wallers won't come in until the week after Thanksgiving. Then we will update you all on the progress. The bathroom is going to be huge - anyone want to come and stay?
