What happened to September???

An entire month...not a single post. How embarrassing. As you may have guessed, we've been swamped. Since he already wrote it, here is an excerpt from an e-mail Ben sent to his parents:

"We seriously don't have time to do much these days! I pick up Nei from work, get changed and then off to the house until 10ish. We've got drywallers starting Monday so it's been a bit of a mad panic trying to get every last thing done before the walls get closed up for good. Just to update you a little, we finished all the wiring, plumbing (inspector made me re-do more of what I thought I had done correctly...), ran all the cat-5e and coax cable, ran all the speaker wire for the home sound system, installed the gas fireplace, insulated the entire house (Nei was a one woman machine!), and numerous other tedious little, but important tasks. Of course, all the windows and doors have been installed now and they look fantastic! The house wrap is finished on the exterior and ready for stucco. The electrical service has been moved to it's temporary location until it can be buried. Last night we started the poly vapor barrier which is really the last thing we need to finish before drywall starts. We've booked the movers for October 25th and have started to look for renters for our condo. So that's about it for now. It's been hectic to say the least, but we're still having fun. We can't wait to see the drywall go up."

Did he say "we're still having fun"?...yeah, for the most part...we are still having fun. And, and...I am an insulating queen!

Note: For all you DIYers out there - don't kiss someone who has been handling poly vapor barrier. Shocking, hurts the lips...real bad.
