Ok, now I did not expect a day off on the remodeling but was hoping the house would cooperate. No such luck! Once again, the house has other plans for us. The plan for the weekend was to put together some items I bought for the house, install the microwave above the ovens (so it was off the counter) just those little odds and ends that needed done, but not a whole weekend project. Supposed to be an easy weekend. Well, with the easy weekend, we did purchase the stain for the cedar shake shingles that are on the side of the house (no one has ever stained them) and knew that we had a few to be replaced. The intent was we would start to stain these throughout the week in the evenings. Well, as this house would have it, problems would arise. We have spent the weekend replacing some shingles, but the best part was tearing down part of one wall to find TERMITES!!! Initially thought that it was just a rotten cedar board, no problem, we will replace and stain. No joke – TERMITES! I saw these little bugs for myself. Chad thinks he knows how much damage we are looking at (as in how much we will have to replace) but we have an appointment with the pros on Tuesday to come and take a look. I guess the house wanted to give me a gift that will keep on giving beyond Sunday!
Bones to Beauty
