We now have a beautiful stainless steel sink installed, yes. We no longer have the other sink, but at least we still have one sink. I actually got to enjoying the dish pans routine, but not as much as I will our beautiful stainless steel sink, It's deep and has a beautiful nickle finish faucet, that doesn't make a lot of noise like where we lived before.

Gary worked so hard in the mud this weekend, running pipe and working in the crawl space and getting rid of a terrible smell, we finally tracked it down to old pipes, yuck, it was worse than the dead mouse smell, country homes 'acquire' once in awhile. I didn't know anything could smell that bad. We should have the washer inside by the end of next weekend.

Speaking of sinks. You can walk outside in any direction and sink right to your boot tops, we have had so much rain.

Hey mom congrats. Have you got the jacuzzi in yet?

Actually we have a complete bathroom, it just in three separate rooms. Mitch, we have one of those, as long as the bucket doesn't spring a leak when we fill the upper tank up, we'll eventually get the flush back. Melinda, NOpe.

Some thing that might help in a situtation where the indoor facilities are not available is to get a toilet seat, turn it upside down, place a 5 gallon bucket upside down on it and draw the circle on the underside of the seat. Now place two rings of screws around this line inside and outside of the circle so when upright they will fit together, install a kitchen bag over the bucket's edges, place the seat on the bucket and hope for a speedy repair.
