Make the Jackhammering STOP!!

Edited to add in Liliana's new measurements: Height 25.6 inches Weight 16.5 pounds

Bet you're wondering why I'm talking about jackhammers. Well, I'll tell you....

Yesterday was the first day of waterproofing our basement. The crew spent the day jackhammering a 6 inch deep trough around the perimeter of my basement. And the jackhammering isn't finished yet. Now while all this was going on we had another person on our roof knocking off our slightly skewed and troubled chimney. Talk about NOISE!! Jackhammers, regular hammers, saws, pounding, digging, banging, pounding...Can someone say Excederin! I'm amazed Toby even got the half hour nap he got. On the plus side the jackhammering should be short lived today and then it's on to installing some system in the trench that will collect any water that does happen to get in. Thank goodness because because our basement stinks!!! And when it's really bad we can smell it upstairs. This treatment should also considerably help our allergies. Here are some pics of the basement and two of my silly boys.

Oh No! Greg has Sticker Pox!

And it's Contageous!

Come back later when I plan on posting video of Toby and Lili's completed room. Here's a sneak peak:

The whole curtain. They are the kind you tie to the length you want.
