Husband has kept himself quite busy the past couple of months, but not always doing things I wish he would. Here's a list of what he's been up to:
- Splitting the basement zone into two additional zones. This was actually a worth while project. The thermostat is in the living space, so the two bedrooms got incredibly hot during the winter, and the temperature would fluctuate wildly. Not the best scenario for little baby. Two days ago Husband finally finished with the soddering. Now all that's left are several large holes in ceilings that will need to be repaired. And even then we'll be left with parts of ceiling that are unspackled. But, I think it'll be worth it.
- Building a server for our computer. Lately Husband has been obsessed with having enough backups of our files in case world war three starts, our house burns down, and we get robbed. There are other things he could have been doing. But, once he gets his mind set on something, there really is no stopping him.
- Finally finish the patch on Gumba's wall. In September a pipe started leaking in Gumba's bedroom wall. The pipe was quickly fixed, but tonight the last (hopefully) bit of mud was put on the wall. Hopefully on Friday Gumba will be put back in his room. For the last three and a half months he's been in the guest room. Again, the hole is patched, but there will be no spackle and no paint for months, or who knows, years to come. The joys of owning your house!
- Putting a fuse in my car. This wasn't a project, but I'm totally excited about it. My car, which is only four years old, has a wiring problem in the hatch (best thing about the car). A lot of time when I opened the hatch it wouldn't latch shut. And then it got worse. Sometimes when I would use my rear windshield wipers the hatch would open, and my dashboard button wouldn't work. So we took it in, paid a bunch of money to have the wires repaired, and then my rear wipers didn't work. Husband being handy as he is (thank God) diagnosed the problem, and happened to have fuses for my car and fixed it. But seriously, how many Husbands have extra vehicle fuses laying around. I married a jack of all trades, and my garage definitely speaks to that.
Any projects going on in your lives? Other then my mother's complete remodel of her upstairs?

Your mother is completely remodeling her upstairs? Must show pictures when it's done!
I have a bunch of projects I should be doing, but am not. Savvy wants to learn all about mixed media art over christmas break, that should keep me busy.
Your father and brother have been tearing up the house! So far the hallway, living room, dining room, amd the ceilings have been down to the studs! The recessed lighting has been installed in the kitchen, and they've hung sheetrock on the ceiling and three walls of the living room. They are both working overtime tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday so won't do any more work on the house until Sunday. It's a mess now but will be so worth it when it's finished. We're lucky that our men can do just about anything they decide to do! Sure saves a ton of money!!
It's been snowing like crazy here, definately a white Christmas for us!
Love to all.
