Sorry its been over a month since I posted. I hope you all don't think that we gave up with the Hightower setback. Quite the opposite is true. We went on a wonderful vacation to upstate New York, Emily turned 21 and we came back to the Comet Circle house with renewed energy. Since the middle of August we have:
1. Moved back into Hightower - at least enough to get by! The kids really don't mind their mattresses on the floor and it's ok that we only have a handful of glasses. There are only four of us anyway. If we ever have another party here it will be BYOG and BYOC (c is for chair!)
2. Continued to work on Comet by cleaning up more mold in the basement.
3. Demoed the Master bathroom
4. Finished the replacement of the Living room subfloor.
5. Removed several big trees.
6. Took out the Chimney and the wood walkway in front.
7. Removed the "falling out" windows in the Living Room.
8. Continued to prepare the outside for new siding and windows.
We have made great progress. The tearing out is probably 95% complete. I think from here on out the only things that will get torn apart are things that we think we are keeping but some unknown discovery will force us to change our minds. Very shortly we will be starting to put things back together. Keep reading other posts if you are interested in the details of the above items (especially tree removal and Living room window removal - those were eventful days).
I will try to be more timely with my posts now that we are getting settled into a rhythm but I have to admit after working all day (especially in the heat this week) it is hard to write these at the end of the day.
