She: laughed. He said, "My wife is back!"

So for those of you who know me you know that I love to laugh, I'm pretty easy going and pretty positive most of the time. Last month was a month I'm glad is over-some strange person was walking around in my body and really not being nice-especially to Mark. Sorry hon! But thanks for loving me through it!

We've decided that I really don't like demolition. I say, "loud noises" but Marks response to that was "Are you like Buster from Arrested Development?" So I guess yes, I am a bit.

This month started with a 20/40 yd (large) dumpster being dropped in our drive way. Out went the tile, mortar bed, the kitchen, walls, plaster, and insulation. The kitchen was moved to the basement-which is actually larger, lighter and more efficient than my previous kitchen. And closer to the laundry which makes things really easy when every appliance is within 20 ft. So now that demolition is mostly over and putting new stuff in will begin soon I'm doing better. And being nice to Mark again.

Currently, in our main room we have sub-floor, stud walls, scaffolding, a fridge that is being given away and a bunch of tools. Next projects consist of electrical and raising up the floor so the floor where the tile was is level with the rest of the room. Now I know that things will still be dusty but it will be wood dust instead of plaster dust and that has to be better! I guess we still need to mud and tape-but I'll just be so excited for new walls that I won't care!

Mark's time line for the upstairs is to be completed by Thanksgiving which is only a few months away. Very exciting!

The dumpster was picked up today from Atomic and I'm hoping that mean lindy was in that dumpster somewhere-never to return.
