Activity at Last!

Finally, we have some house activity to report! The outside guys were here early this morning...the first one at 0640, yes, that's in the morning. I was expecting 7am but wow, are they ready to work. They were able to work until about 1030 when the rains came down. By 11 they were sodden and left for the day. They left everything as it stood when the rain started.

Meanwhile, the carpet / tile guys were working inside the house.

Here's the front foyer sporting its new dark grout. The pups and I now have to watch our feet, that we have clean feet or shoes before going into the house. That does take some of the fun out of it.

From the week of rain, there is so much standing water all over the yard. A lot of grass was destroyed with the heavy equipment so what was just wet is now muddy too. I have some lovely and fashionable white rubber boots for just such occasions. I make a very fetching picture in them if I do say so myself. I will get Gary to capture a photo of my "homey" outfit. It really does defy belief. It amazes me how far I have come or am willing to go that looks don't matter as much as the functionality of the objects. Anyway, this is the front yard.

Speaking of dogs....this is Suzie "initiating" the new carpet and putting her scent on it. She had so much fun doing this in every room. If only my camera had video you could hear her snorting and huffing and carrying on. Jesse and Suzie spent some time running and chasing each other all through the house. They also did some of the plumbing today.
