Well, you know how it is, a little plaster here, a little plaster there, and suddenly you've gutted the whole house and are redoing things from scratch. Don't worry about not keeping up! I have a hard time myself some days. And the daily updates don't really give the big picture, although they're great at the small picture. Probably I should do something about that.

We need a building inspector because we were good and applied for a building permit. Sigh. He's been quite nice so far -- he looks at the plumbing and the framing and things to make sure we're doing it right. But he's making us put in vapour barrier in addition to the cool new high-tech spray foam insulation which is supposed to provide its own vapour barrier, and we can't drywall until he's seen all the plumbing finished, and this has led to bottlenecks. Possibly logjams. I keep waiting for the logjams to magically clear up, WHICH I AM SURE THEY'RE GOING TO DO ANY DAY NOW (whew, sorry). Not so far though.

Greenboard is special drywall that you put in bathrooms because it's more water-resistant. It's green. (Well, Jen says it's blue, but she's just crazy. It's green.)

As to when I'm moving in... who knows? I hope it's soon. I put off the appliance delivery.
