Just stuff

We found another great swimming pool. This one goes from zero feet to 3ft, so I can sit with Georgie in the very shallow end and let her splash in the water while Tanner floats around with Reagan. Kate is so independent now. She just "goes swimming". I find it a little unnerving because I keep thinking of her as my little baby, but apparently she's big enough to know how to swim.

I hope to post some pictures soon just not tonight. We had to re-wire everything since Jonathan is moving in with us tomorrow. The room he'll be staying in was our office/storage area, so we had to find a new place for the computer. Then we had to buy a hub and networking cables and wall jacks and all sorts of crazy things in order to get Internet access throughout the house. Luckily, I know all about networking, so it wasn't a big deal to set everything up. We did consider going wireless, but I didn't want to have to install a wireless adapter in my desktop. I have to admit, it is nice to have my computer out of the "roach" room. Unfortunately for Jonathan, there is at least one more wall to repair before construction can start on his room.

Now before you think that I'm being callous, let me assure you. The wall we have to finish is the one next to our washer and dryer. We used sheet rock as a temporary measure to plug a hole that is about 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall. That's it. The sheet rock is on the OUTSIDE of the house. There is no plywood, no siding, no insulation, no plastic, nothing, just sheet rock. The window is nailed onto the house as a temporary measure to keep it attached. These temporary measures have been in place since January while we've been dealing with things like collapsing walls, broken windows and holes in the floor. You see, Jonathan's room has siding on the outside of it. 90% of the walls have sheet rock. All of the windows are securely fastened to the house. And there are only minor cracks that we've filled with caulking as a "temporary" measure. But don't worry. We've rebuilt 4 walls since we've been here. Replaced 3 windows, two doors, two fans, 3 light fixtures and remodeled an entire bathroom. We'll get it done eventually, and for now, I bought a can of roach spray for his room...
