I should probably update on the house, so here goes. While I was in Orlando this past weekend they did a lot! The roof is dried in and ready for shingles, all the windows and doors are in place and all the main walls in the house are finished. There are finally stairs to go up to the "bonus" room (which by the way, they are making us finish now) which is exciting because climbing up the random ladder which was leaning against a yet more random wall was not my favorite thing to do. Not to mention I was tired of declaring that I shouldn't be on the ladder in the first place because head traumas run in my family. Speaking of randomness, we have to buy/tell them what we're going to buy for the strangest things. I mean, I understand the concept of wanting to know the size of the bathtub we are going to buy before you build the wall that will encapsulate it. However, is it completely necessary to know the exact dimensions? Why can't you build the wall according to the plans or what will fit in the space and then tell me what size bathtub will fit. That seems so much easier. Whatever, it's just annoying because they ask and if I don't know for example the size of the bathtub then it's a huge deal and how could they possibly continue on the house until they knew the size of the bathtub?! Is this humorous to anyone else or is it just me?! I mean really, who knows the size of your bathtub? I feel like it's one of those commercials where they ask "It's 11:00, do you know where your child is?", well it's freaking 3:21, do you know the size of your bathtub?! I feel like in celebration of it being three hours into the month of October, I am going to declare October "getting to know the size of your bathtub" month. And I think it's important in this very special month for everyone to really have an understanding for the size of their bathtub...you know, just in case anyone asks. There may be a pop quiz. BTY, if anyone has any phenomenal ideas for a fire place let me know. Apparently I should already know the box dimensions, what's going to be on the outside of it, how high off the floor it's going to be, what type of furniture will be in a fifteen foot radius of it and the birth dates of my future unborn children. Simple things like that. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
