Our home is undergoing major renovations because of a mold problem. Right now, everything is in upheaval. In our basement, a dehumidifier is running constantly, on one side while we wait for the drywall to be replaced. On the other side, we can toast bread and make toasted tomato sandwiches for one meal of the day. The tomatoes are a gift from one of our neighbors. We can also heat up frozen meals in the microwave for supper, though they tend to be high in carbs which aren't good for us.
Hopefully, we'll be able to give 2 old work benches to my son and daughter soon. I've not used them in years. I'd like to see them used by Greg and Mike.
On the other other side of the basement, we can at least do our laundry every once in a while. Upstairs, in our old kitchen, we're waiting for the underlay to be replaced so that new flooring can go in; thankfully, our house insurance is covering most of the cost. We can still use our new microwave. The 30 year old one just stopped working one day.
We are worried about Gus, our 8-year old golden retriever, who had a cancerous growth on his lip removed. Goldens normally live 10-12 years. He still loves to play and to go for walks with Marg. He also loves to visit our neighbors; indeed anyone who pets him.
We have many decisions to make in the coming days and weeks.
Home renovations are like camping in your own home. I hope your Gus does well. Nice to keep up to date with your life and adventures.
