23 reasons...

Hey - been a while I know! Life has been incredibly full with meaningful & difficult things. Been getting more bad news on the adoption front & got lots of people struggling with various things in our lives. And the chicken pox thru our house - now all 4 kids have had it (even though 3 were immunized - much milder than our oldest at least). Super Lu has been sick on & off as well. I was really anticipating a slower summer, but it's been the extreme opposite! But on a huge positive, Run 143 was another amazing success this year - already planning the dates for next year!

On the building front - I now have 23 reasons to either be discouraged or thankful for learning.... That's the list the inspector left for me. Many of those 23 had a few things to do - not just quick touches. At least he wrote it down as 'not ready for inspection' rather than a 'fail'. The red fail card would not have been the cherry on top, it probably would have been the last straw today!
So now I get to start fixing things I did before our basement was even dug. Apparently my headers are all wrong for doors & windows. (insert shaking of head here). I think I've got a way to fix them without taking out all the windows & doors - and the inspector thought it was okay too!
Later!
