So they found some pretty extensive water damage behind our bathroom wall. Not fun! The studs were so badly damaged that you just tapped them with the handle of the hammer and they crumbled. Not sure if it is from the DIY tile job the former owners did 15+ yrs ago or for a leak in the ceiling?!? But we resealed the tile a few years ago and it appears there is no current leakage. Not a HUGE deal, except than now we have to strip all that stucco too and replace all those studs. My husband said they stripped it all and the window just "fell right out" not so sure I wanna sower in there with no window?! Ummmmm feeling a bit 'au naturel' huh... There doesn't appear to be damage behind the boys bathroom wall tho so I guess that's a break.
They are also cutting back the roof today. I think once they get all that done, they start digging the footing. Not sure what that means. I am excited for all this craziness!!! Had a fantastic conversation with our neighbors of 13+ yrs about what we are doing. They just finished a major renovation that took them from start to finish 2 yrs! I was NOT encouraged that it took so long ;( but I was very encouraged by her kind words and assurance that we would just LOVE it when we are all done. It didn't help that her last sentence to me had to do with how she hopes our marriage can handle it! ;) hahaha... Only time will tell I guess huh?
Anyway, I held bible study last night for our junior and senior high kids from our church. Last Sunday I had told them this was all going to happen starting Monday so we had our study last time on the patio. This time they could not believe ow different everything looked! Always a new adventure... Am excited to see what I come home to today!
