I know it has been a while!

It has been a while since I have updated! I had training for work that went 12 hours a day for a week and that wiped out my brain cells. I have since recovered. Dennis went up to Milford a weekend without me and took some great pictures and then we both went up this past weekend and took some more. Just wait til you have seen what has happen since our last post.
We have a new roof and it looks amazing. It makes the little house look BIG!!. New roofing terms 5/12 pitch which indicates how high the pitch will be on the roof. Ours will be nice and high for Snow melt and run off. Other terms Vented or non vented eaves....this is for ventilation in the attic space for airflow. Other things we have learned, Fir stripping the exterior walls to prepare for insulation and sheathing so that the new siding can be installed. That is a mouthful and I hope self explanatory. It is going to be beautiful!!
Regan aka Mr. Sledgehammer has been knocking down all the interior block walls. Poor guy has lost weight but has been working very hard.Grandpa Fred put the wall up good and probably did not expect them to ever come down. Dennis and I went up to help with Block removal. We filled an entire 30 yard ton container with just the interior block wall debris!
Oh yeah and next time you see Dennis ask him how he got the scrape on the bridge of his nose!! Yep the ramp that went up into the dumpster collapsed as Dennis was taking a wheel barrow full of block and he face planted into the block pile!! I was cleaning up the front yard, when I saw his feet go up in the air and down he went!! Sorry I am still laughing...I don't think he is cut out for hard labor anymore!! HeeHee!! Yep I am still laughing!! Sorry honey! I so wish I could have filmed that! LOL!
I have ordered the new windows from Jones Paint and Glass, very nice and expedient to deal with! I am still waiting Siding quote and wishing they would move a little quicker! I have another contact for siding materials and may have to go that route! The Shingles  and roofing materials were delivered Monday and we will have a completed roof by weeks end hopefully. They will be replacing all the plumbing over the next couple of weeks and running the gas lines into the house for the furnace, tank-less water heater and oven. And I need to shop for a furnace and A/C soon! All of this should keep me busy in my spare time. Hope you enjoy the changes.
P.S. We found some interesting things in the walls this week, 1 bowling shoe??, 1 tube of Toothpaste with Grandma's name on it, 1 article on Knowing your Rights as a Nursing Home Resident and 1 Copenhagen chewing tobacco can stuffed in one of the chimney holes.
