Kaia is just getting to bed… she was out at the house helping us light our first fire in the new stove!

But first, some pictures!

The drywall is all up. They finished in a little over a day! New guys came out this morning to start the mudding! Unfortunately, the hangers left big piles of drywall everywhere. So, I’ve got a day of cleaning up scheduled for me on Wed.

Here’s the door to the master bedroom upstairs… it looks so different with the drywall up. I can’t wait to get some color on those walls!

Here’s part of the kitchen. You can see a cordwood wall on the left. That is one of the ones that has the most work still to be done. We’ve put up plastic over all the holes and hooked up the stove today so we can try to keep the house warm… for the sake of the cordwood mortar and the drywallers.

Here are the mudding guys. They were really fast! I love the stilts!! They both turned around and stopped working to pose for me when they saw I had a camera 🙂

And here is our first fire in our new little stove! Woohoo!  It’s supposed to get into the teens tonight, and we are worried about the mortar.  It’s been a little over a week since we last laid cordwood, but still… we don’t want the walls falling apart because it didn’t set up right.  So, hopefully the stove will warm the place up enough.

So, as far as getting in touch with the guy who was jumping on the trampoline when her leg broke, I’ve written a long letter, but I have decided not to send it. I really just needed to get some stuff off of my chest and I don’t think it will do any good to make them feel guilty about it. I do feel like he needs to know what happened, but I am letting it go. I have enough stress in my life right now without having to put more energy into this.
