Updates

We have water! Joe's wonderful dad came and helped with bathroom stuff this morning. Angela can testify - this man is amazing! He spent the other day helping Angela and Paul, and today helping us! His wife is very generous to let him help us so much!

I took a shower and I feel great! Also, Joe put the downstairs showerhead on the upstairs shower, and I love that showerhead so it was a very pleasant shower! We can flush our toilets again and wash our hands again, and as soon as I finish my lab report I'll run the dishwasher and the clothes washer.

Picture time!

This is what the side of our bathtub looked like an hour ago:




















Here's what it looks like now:




















Here's what it looks like just outside the bathroom door:





















Here's Steve. I love this picture because you can see the motion of his hand waving!




















Here's Joe. He wanted to take off his mask and glasses for the picture but I wouldn't let him, so he said "you can't tell but I'm sticking out my tongue at you right now". What a silly boy!




















The bathroom is changing so fast even as I type! Here it is now:




















This is all so much more exciting than identifying bacteria, but as soon as I finish this lab report I'm done for the day! I'm actually motivated to do some organizing so I'm going to hurry up and finish! Game night at a friend's house tonight to reward us (especially Joe) for all our hard work the last few days!

  1. Shea is pre-occupied devouring a pb&j sandwich, so I got a break to read your post! Aren't handy Father-in-laws the BEST? Jeremy's dad is really handy with fixing things too! I am excited to see the changes - thanks for all the pics! I'm glad you guys got some help and have water again - that is one thing I take for granted waaaay too much.

  2. I am so glad you guys have water again! I didn't even think about not being able to go to the bathroom or shower, how inconvenient. And yes, Steve is the best, he has been super busy with both of us and our houses!

    And I LOVE all the pics!
