The Fuzzy and Wheezy Reno Show

 A crew of hard working, polite, knowledgeable young men from Strickland Roofing put on our new roof last week.They did a great job. They also played soccer during lunch, much to Motown's joy She has missed playing ball every day. 

Since we are having the water lines in the house replaced the plumbers are cutting holes in the walls behind the pipes to the bathrooms and kitchen. They found some termite damage. The good news is it's old damage and not active. The house was treated several years ago and was probably under contract after that. The bad news is there's a good bit of damage. But it could be worse. Termite treatment and wood replacement have been added to the budget sheet. At least its easy for the exterminator to treat right now since the area is exposed around the floor where the pipes and termites enter the house. Bugs found in the attic were ants and not termites so that was good news too.  In other news the kitchen has been cleared and demolished. The cabinets are being refinished and rearranged but they are made of nice heavy wood. Worth saving.
