Fire Hazzard
Serendipity to say the least. After having a short conversation with our neighbour about his efforts to remove the chimney before they moved the house he had this startling discovery to announce. Our Chimney had burnt right through the bricks in the second floor and there was exposed wall in my upstairs bedroom. SO much so that the wall board had started to burn. We were 1 large fire away from the entire house burning down....(Incredibly enough we had joked about hoping the place burned down so we could have the insurance $ to re-build). Best not to joke about such things.. Sometimes ones wishes sometimes come true ! (Twilight Zone Music...)
Virus on the loose
Looks like I can't get away from IT. Our Kitchen design place TripleAAA Kitchens was hit by a swarm of viruses and it knocked out their servers and our designer lost over 100 drawings. Our kitchen drawing survived, but many of the bathroom drawings were nowhere to be found.... He continues to recover his files and hopefully we'll see some drawings this week....
Foundation Lalonde
Still curious what a foundation Lalonde is... It is the company name !.... I thought so... It took me a few minutes with the contractor to discover, after he got up off the floor laughing, what was behind this mysterious item...
Lost post....
After a short discussion with the land surveyor it was discovered that one of the key markers on our lot was layed to rest under the wheels of the construction equipment when the house was moved... a few more $$ will get it restored and get us back on track....Work starts today !
Panic Attack
I now know what it is like to be a mother. Every living second, ones thoughts are centered on all the possible mishaps that can happen to ones child (The new house in this instance), and 120% of ones effort is leveraged towards circumventing any possible problems. I now have a list (and Growing) of the 200 questions I MUST ask the contractor to ensure that every possible potential problem (No matter how small or large) is being appropriately taken care of......(Relax, count to 10, take a valium, snooze... then phone the contractor)
