Asbestos anyone?!?!!?

We found out we have asbestos in our "popcorn" ceilings ;(  so of course, you can't just pull it down, you need to pay some E.T. looking guys to come in and wrap the whole place in plastic to remove it! And also pay... Out the nose ;(... Since it had only 3% asbestos we didn't have to quarantine for too long tho so that was a good thing. They got to the house at 7 am and worked all day... We got home at 2 something and just sat on the front lawn in the shade until probably 4 ish... But when we got in - our oldest was not thrilled that his ceiling fan had been taken apart ;( with the autism, he is very accustomed to having everything in its place and gets ruffled when it is not! It is heart breaking. But he got through it. Our youngest, with Aspergers, emotionally attaches to EVERYTHING!!!! So we get in and he starts pouting... "I'm gonna miss those ceilings!" Seriously kid?!!?!?!?

Anyway, I'm so thrilled at all of the things that have been accomplished this week!!!!!! First the front patio was leveled, then the dirt was disposed of, then the trenches were dug for irrigation and drainage, then the asbestos was removed, then the irrigation and drainage were laid! Whew!!!! That's a LOT! It is amazing at all the progress that has taken place in less than 4 WEEKS!!!!! So excited! The framing is supposed to go up next week... More pics to follow...
