Friday, November 6, 2009 - Moving Weekend

Although I didn't hear from my contractor today, he told me earlier in the week that they should tearing into the house during the middle of next week, which means time to pack up everything in our bedroom and prepare for a mess. Even though they are not having to enter our room, they do have to remove the brick off the outside of the house, which really just leaves the framing of the house and a piece of drywall between us and the great outdoors. Notice I didn't mention anyting about insulation. With every other renovation project we embarked upon over the last six years, none of the rooms we have remodeled have had any insulation in the walls. I wouldn't expect any in our bedroom wall either. I already know that there isn't any insulation in the wall of Daniel's bedroom, since a sledgehammer whack into the house by the contractor the first week of the project has proven that. Daniel's wall, however, is completely coming out, but I don't know if they are just removing the bricks from it next week, or if the entire wall is coming down. Cara's not quite ready fo rthem to enter the house yet, but it has to happen at some point. Either way, it's time to pack up books, pictures, clothing, and other knick-knacks as well as moving furniture around because I am sure there is much dust soon to come. These workers haven't been real neat so far outside the house, and I'm not expecting much better of them indoors.
