Refugees

So, thanks to the wonderful generosity of family and friends, we have had a clean, stench-free place to stay with running water the last few days! Thursday night, Steve and Barb took all of us in, with the hope that it would have been our only night away from home. Regretfully, there was no good pipe yet to be found, so digging continued. Since then we have been staying with my folks with the exception of Saturday night when we stayed at Sam and Susan's. Lynn and Mike had generously offered their home for the Halloween party, since we could not accommodate. It was great to get away for the night and see everyone. Definitely a big stress reliever!! I hadn't really realized how edgy I had become by that point... So, I guess thanks are also in order for putting up with me!! But with all hope, tonight will be our last night away from home... The outdoor excavating and connection of the plumbing work should be complete tomorrow. We still won't have a floor, but it's a step in the right direction. I'm going to wrap this up since the fumes are starting to get to me...

Here are some random pics of the progress as well as one of the puppy playgroup that is just too cute!
