Day one recap

Saying goodbye to the old before demolition started.......it went reasonably well to start, if you don't count long it took to move the refrigerator into the living room....the doors had to come off!



It's getting a little crowded in here but mission accomplished!
I guess I'd better get used to seeing this in my driveway.......although I did ask Jim if he could be done by Friday......he didn't answer me!

 Now that is one scary looking "dust woober"!  He even called in reinforcements!


Things were still on track at this point but then the problems began.......

See that door......it was put in backwards....for a reason, so it didn't open into the room......problem it's backwards...Jim doesn't like it....needs to be replaced...should be 36 inch door anyway....okay add it to the list...Popster just shrugs his shoulders!
Next problem when they pull down the ceiling they discover a leak in the vent pipe.......couldn't get up on the roof as we had a combination of snow, sleet & freezing rain all day so hopefully tomorrow will be better so that can be fixed.
Next problem the wall between the kitchen eating area & the living room had to come down but hopefully it can be put back up without changing too much.

They got everything cleaned up & were pulling out of the driveway when I realized that no matter how much I "cranked" the thermostat the furnace wasn't coming on.  It was a brisk 59 degrees in the house as we had kept the heat off most of the day!  Apparently they forgot to turn back on one of the circuit breakers so that was fixed fairly quickly.

Look at how big the kitchen is now...I'm liking it already!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call
