Cementing the Deal

Post is divided by the people and things involved in making this journey wonderful.  Or something.

What We Did! 

Removed existing wall frames.
Pondered what we're doing with our lives...
Left loose ends hanging.
Disregarded electrical hazards.
Tempted fate.
Sawed through icky stuff.
Because who needs flooring, amrite?
Found a pee bucket.
Found a nest.
Found a bird.
Cleaned out the nest.
Installed a garage door opener.
Installed the second garage door opener!

What the pros did!

Started building cement supports in our basement.  Discovered the concrete floor was not poured thick enough and is cracking.  Called in concrete pros.
Concrete pros say it'll be okay, but water is coming up between the walls and concrete, so they'll be installing an interior french drain for $$$$.  Also, move the well tank out.  This won't end well.

What the deer did!
Roaming around in broad daylight with no cover.
Human talking?  Garage door squealing?  Ain't no thang for these deers.  She came CLOSER.

What Mother Nature Did!

Maybe I'll plant a willow tree.  At least it's warm outside.
Task: Prep the Bathrooms, Install Garage Door Openers, Befriend the Deer, Splash In Puddles, Write Checks

You Know What?  Lots of Hours.  It's been LOTS of hours.  And LOTS of $$$.
