November 29-Count your Blessings not Your troubles

Our hearts and prayers are with the Baker family today and we remember sweet Lo. Our blessings are many and full. A wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Schertz with the family. Now home to a mess...but it is home and progress is being made.

New Entry way

Mess...what a mess...out of character before they have been so clean? Disappointed:-(

Tape and float was worked on today...huge mess still remains...I hope the clean up crew is coming soon. Ususally it is clean when they leave...not so much lately

Monday November 28th...things FINALLY start moving

Sheetrock installed. Begining to look like a room. Gringos for dinner

Nov 10 Not Approved-----to Nov 23 We're Approved!

Not approved, need pancake boards and metal support put in before inspector comes out again

Really nothing has been done...we go 5 steps forward and go back 10. The only people that seem to want to move forward are the Talab family. There is no urgency in anything they do!!! UGH Needless to say it is Nov 10 and I have no Christmas decor up...I am usually all decorated by now. Probably not going to happen this year:-(

But here are a few things tha they have done in the past 3 weeks.
We got new plumbing in the kitchen, The electrical was run and the canal dug out for the electric going to the island. Kinda depressed to look at nothing being done so we don't eat in a lot we eat out alot.

FINALLY APPROVED AND UP GOES INSULATION

 TIME TO CELEBRATE WTTH SALMON AND BROCOLI ALFREDO!!! AND WINE:0

One night the wonderful Stein Family had us over for a good home cooked meal! It was nice to eat where it wasn't under construction and it was delish!

What better way to spend the day! November 12

Spent day and night scraping crappy popcorn ceiling off of stairway and gameroom...I know I have inhalled some stuff I probably should not have!!! what a mess
