Rainy Day - Minnesota Fishing Opener

It's a rainy Saturday on the opening weekend of fishing in Minnesota or at least this afternoon when I decided to get my license and a dozen minnows to try my luck again in the Mississippi River. Anyhow, I waited for a break in the weather and then headed out, but by the time I walked down to the river it started raining again. So, I cast a couple of times until I lost my jig on a rock snag. Instead, I thought that I would update everyone where we are at in the house project.

There was a lot of activity this week as the porch area outside our bedroom was constructed, appliances arrived on Wednesday and installation occured on Friday, electricians worked most of the week on final terminations for lights, plumbers were here on Friday to install toilets, faucets, shower heads, etc. while the well gang finally got out to the house upon road restrictions being lifted on Thursday to convert the water over to the house and then backfeed to the garage. Anyhow, things were going great on Friday and Shelly was looking forward to taking a bath in her new tub finally after work. However, after everyone left, I continued to check as the plumbers asked for leaks as lines filled up and hot water came on and unfortunately I had to isolate the water to the main house due to several leaks in the mechanical room. So, to say the least Shelly wasn't a happy camper when she arrived home at 9 p.m. She will just have to wait until Monday now.

Here are some pictures from the week:

This coming week, the plans are to finish up the concrete floor, interior painting touch-up, installation of the fireplace, continued electrical and the master bedroom closet will be installed by California Closets on Friday, May 16th. Then next week they plan to start cleaning the interior of the house with final preparations for us to start moving things in over the Memorial Day weekend. It's getting very, very close!!!!!
