Oh the joys of puppydom.
How is it he can manage to miss the piddle pad practically every.stinking.time? Geesh.
Why does he feel the need to awaken us at 6-freaking-AM every.stinking.morning? Geesh already, let me get some sleep!
6am wouldn't be so bad except little Monkey Boy kept me up till just after midnight.
So after our little jaunt outside, I fully intended to go back to bed. Except a certain adorably cute little puppy wanted so badly to play. *yawn*
Now I've had a cup of coffee to wake me up. Wanna guess what the puppy is doing? He's curled up at my feet.....sleeping.
The cat still isn't all that impressed with a bouncy furball in the house.

Yesterday we had some pretty strong winds blow through. I'd spent a little bit of time yesterday morning at the other house, putting a few more bits of wallpaper up in the bathroom (and searching for that 4th roll that *someone* put with the OTHER wallpaper), and when I returned home I spotted something that scared me. The wind had loosened two sections of metal roofing on the machine shed. The wind was blowing those sections up and toward the north. I say "toward the north" because the power line to the shed was keeping the sections from blowing any further. But then I noticed that part of the cable (it's three wires twisted together) had been severed about 6 feet from where it enters the shed. ACK!
And the 'live' end was hanging down and blowing in the wind. ACK ACK! Hubby says "Huh...maybe that's why the lights have been flickering". But scariest of all. - we then discovered that we no longer had power to the well pump! EEEEEK!
Oh no, I said to hubby, we will get this fixed today or I'm getting the kids to someplace where we have running water and flushing toilets. Uh huh, call an electrician now or I start packing a suitcase.
Thank goodness we've found a wonderful electrician who came out, secured the line, and made a temporary fix. It's only temporary because the cable needs to be replaced and the decision has been made that the new cable will be buried instead of being overhead. Yep, not gonna have this situation again. *whew*

I mentioned I'd hung a few more pieces of wallpaper. The bathroom is now about 2/3 done. I plan to get it finished today. And since the electrician has scaffolding, he's going to let me use it to do the tray ceiling in the bedroom.
The flooring guys have finished the floor in the kids' bathroom and in the master bathroom. They also poured the bed for the shower floor as well. Monday they'll do another layer of something or other on the shower and start installing the hardwood in the upstairs hallway and the powder room.
Haven't seen the painter for a few days. Hopefully he'll get back there and finish up very soon.
Cabinetry sent over another stain sample for the kitchen cabinets. This one is so very very close. One tiny little adjustment in the shade and I think they can get those cabinets done. Good thing, as they are expecting to start installing cabinets next week.
