Day 126 - Framing is (almost) Done

Newsflash:  It's still really cold outside.  -18 F on the drive into work today.  Today Tom finished framing up the basement walls.  Emily & I just need to let him know where we wan the towel bars, so he can get extra bracing put in those areas.

The plan is for Brian from Albany Heating & Nick from Hoffman plumbing start their rough-in work next week.

This Friday Gered from G&E Cabinetry is coming up from Spencer, IA to measure for the cabinets.  Woohoo!  Good times.

The exciting news around the construction site today was that Harry decided it would be fun to stick his tongue on the metal construction lift that was sitting outside of the house.  He ripped off the skin from his tongue & came running to Emily with blood going everywhere.  A little bit of snow on the tongue & everything was good as new.  I couldn't be more proud that A Christmas Story came true in my family this year.  Now all Harry needs is a Red Rider BB gun!!!

Any way that about all.  No new pictures today of the house.  With it getting dark so early, I only get to the site after it's dark.  Here's a picture of the tub we're putting into the master bathroon.

Yep, it's blue!

My grandma would be so proud.  Her bathroom used to have a blue tub & toilet.  The answer to your question is no, the toilet is going to be white.  Now get your mind out of the toilet!  Sheesh :-)
