Major Progress

Our amazing circuit box. We have a circuit for everything. Laird did the complicated weaving here. You should have seen it when it was just a mass of disorganized wires!

The wires for the network box that Eric did. Don’t worry it looked all orderly before it was covered with the foam insulation.

Foam insulation in the laundry room.

Foam insulation in the family room. Here they put a cloth over the studs and then filled the space with foam.

 

Hey, does this photo look familiar to all you anagram fans?

 

We got the insulation in the ceiling of the family room and the downstairs bedroom. We hope this makes it more possible for Eric and I to live with our teenagers.

Hooray! Walls! This is the family room and the very odd wall of closets in the “office.”

Gee, I hope they have enough drywall mud to do all the patching!

Patching and a strange little box on the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom. (It covers the upstairs sewer pipes.)

Passover 2008

Okay, it’s been awhile since Passover 2008, but since I’m in charge of Eric’s blog now, I’m going to revisit days gone by. Sitting at my parents house one day, back when John and Emily lived in town. (We miss you!), I mentioned something about doing a Passover again. Now, if you know John, you don’t just casually mention something without intentions to follow through. So the next thing we knew we were planning a Passover seder.

So I dug out the Haggadah I wrote up several years ago, and we unpacked the plastic “wine” glasses and started getting ready for Passover. I admit, we did not completely clear the house of hametz, nor did we burn the last crumbs. But we did clean up and vaccum.  

Matzo, maror (bitter herbs- horseradish and romaine), karpas, salt water, the Four Questions and Elijah’s cup. We pretty much has a traditional Jewish seder with a few Christian side notes thrown in. And we did actually eat roasted lamb which I guess is not traditional, (at least not since 70 A.D when the temple was destroyed.)
