Everything Sags When It Gets Old

OH BOY IS THAT EVER THE TRUTH!!!!

I am home with a bad cold on the day our new leader took office so I thought I would give you an update. First of all Glen and I want to thank all of our friends and family who support us through all of our adventures. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.

Now on to the house. The livingroom ceiling had to be removed because the second floor was sagging. It has to be raised about 2 inches. If we only sag 2 inches in 11o years then I guess we'll be doing well also. Anyhow the new living room ceiling joists are now in and the 2nd floor is well for the most part level. Again it is 110 yrs old.

While this is going on Glen and need to remove all of the nails out of the hardwood floors we removed previously. Every board must be scraped, the grooves claned and the nails pulled. It is a dust nasty mess removing 110 yr old dirt, hair, and other unidentified items.

Much of the time when we are working on the house the boys are outside playing. With 7 acres they have found many ways to entertain themselves. But when it is to cold we have set up a theatre on the third floor where the boys can eat lunch watch movies and play games.
