Dry Wall Going Up

New Attic Ladder

Jim and I were collectively removing the old attic ladder, it snapped shut. My left hand was caught by the metal, my right hand caught by the wood enclosures. Jim's left hand was caught. I moaned and cried in pain, Jim was yelling,"I can't get free", I managed to use my thumb on the right side to lift the sprung wood and lifted it up to pry my fingers out. I grabbed the left side that enclosed my fingers and lifted the metal. I helped Jim free his left hand opposite of me. I ran to the kitchen sink and immurced my withered fingers in the icy water. My fingers were numb and the cold watered burned. I can sympathize with the "KNUCKLE TORTURE". I wrapped my left hand in an ice bag immediatly while Jim held his hand under the cold water. His wedding ring saved his finger, my wedding ring caught by the metal was bent and my finger began to swell around it. The Marquise setting was now 1/2 flattened, destroyed. Knuckles are sore to touch today but we survived.

Trip

I enjoyed my trip last week and got to relax somewhat. Sydney ended up getting a sinus infection from running around in the cold air. Right now his nose is red and sore from the constant blowing and wiping of the massive snot that the little 5 year old can produce. (Buckets and buckets of it!)
If it were not for me having to return to work I would have stayed longer. But bills must get paid, dogs must be tended to, and the complete udderly mess from construction must continue.
Mom called me to let me know that they were on their way to pick up grandma (Dad's mom) from Vegas, she is coming to live with them. She is going to be 90 years old in September and needs the care of family now as she is not able to get around like she use to.
Donna and Brenna are moving in this year so that Brenna can finish out her high school year on the mainland (She is in Alaska), I guess the -40+ degree weather in Alaska is just a little to cold for them to concider a permanant spot after Rick retires from the Air Force.

New Room Update

All the isulation is up and Jim knocked out about an 8 foot section of the original door that lead to the carport. We brought in the 10 sheets of wall board today and will start on that I imagine this week sometime after Jim starts and finishes the wiring.
