Paying the Piper... I mean Plumber

I like our plumber. He's friendly and honest and always positive- and did I say expensive? Remember the room addition we started waaaaay back in May? This is the latest installment- hehe, don't pardon my pun :) We now have plumbing in our concrete, and a shower that works in the new bathroom. You can't use it because the electrical wires are still just hanging out of all the studs around the shower, but it's there. There's no toilet, and no sink, but my washing machine, dryer and freezer are back in the laundry room- Praise the LORD!!, as my plumber says ;)- and he means it! Anyway, we ran into a lot of existing plumbing problems- surprise, surprise- so without taking on another loan, we will probably be able to drywall the bathroom and install the sink and toilet. I doubt there will be a floor for a very long time. It's possible that the laundry room will not be drywalled for even more time. I suspect our room addition may last yet another year just because of finances... Yes, Ian's family, this does mean that when you visit you will sleep in the rooms with old yucky stinky carpet, ugly panelling, and ceiling tiles. I really am sorry. I was hoping to have them fairly decent by June.
Of course, we may think that another loan is wise in the interest of finishing this mess and reappraising the house- which is fiscally important to us, so maaaaybe it will be done this year. And then, maaaybe not :) I know Who knows!
