Yesterday, today and tomorrow we are having one chimney rebuilt and the firebox repointed and the furnace chimney taken down to the roof. I will post before and after pictures in a few days (when we have an after). This is the first step. The second step involves a complete roof tear-0ff, a dormer added to the back of the house, re-roof and new gutters.
It will be nice when it's done. The dormer will provide us with a second full bath and a 4th bedroom.
When the chimney guys were here yesterday, we couldn't go outside for fear of falling bricks. As soon as I noticed them moving around to the front chimney I begged them to let us go to the back of our back yard. I even offered cash and they agreed (and didn't take the bribe).
Right before we made our way outside, I noticed them taking a break in our back yard. They were eating lunch and sitting under our apple tree. No problem, that's the best spot in our yard.
After they were done we went outside. That's when I noticed the diaper sitting right in front of where they were sitting. Not just a diaper but a used diaper. I was so embarrassed. Not only was I embarassed with our roof, falling gutters and chimney's. I was also ashamed off our air conditioner sitting on our back porch held up by duct tape and plywood. Nice.
Wonder what they thought of as they were munching on their sandwiches and looking at the diaper? I don't want to know.
Oh and one of the young guys knocked on the door and asked to use our bathroom. Maddie had just finished cleaning it - whew! So as he was coming in Ava snapped a picture of him with her new little camera. He said "Did you just take a picture of me?" She giggled and so did I. Hey at least it wasn't while he was in the bathroom. That happens around here.
