Thankfulness - Renovation, part 2

Today, on our drive home from our Thanksgiving get-away at Andrew's house, Paige asked us all to say what we are thankful for this year. Dave said, "I am thankful that you girls have been so well-behaved and easy-going, even though our living situation has been challenging over the last few months." There was a short period of uncomfortable silence, followed by Rylie saying, "are you being sarcastic right now?"

Wall asbestos removal is finally finished, and the house looks really strange with the walls down. We thought the asbestos people seemed a little too bored, so we invited them back to take up the asbestos flooring in the kitchen, which was under the hardwoods. Our builder was impressed that we had it in both the linoleum AND the floor tiles that were hiding under there all those years.

The excavator should begin today, and, pending any weather delays, the foundation for the addition should be poured next week (while the second round of asbestos remediation is taking place inside).
