    Crawl Space to Play Room

    No Comments


     

    We had another CRAZY BUSY FUN FULL weekend! Friday night was our turn to watch the kids for cousins night and my brother brought his 4 kids so we had a house full that night. We worked on our playroom on Saturday and my brothers stayed for church Sunday and Super Bowl watching that night. My house looks like a tornado hit it with all of the toys and saw dust BUT I wouldn’t change a thing…

    We are finally working on making the crawl space under our kitchen into a PLAY ROOM!!! We poured cement during the summer. We had an electrician come in January and on Saturday we started in on the walls and ceiling. My 3 (Utah) brothers came and spent the night Friday so we could get up and get working on Saturday. We were a little giddy actually – us Robertsons really enjoy a little project every now and then. We had to raise the kitchen sink plumbing, install air vents, (fix an emergency leak in the water main), move several electrical wires and frame 2.5 walls. Then we started the sheet rocking. The ceiling is done and 2 of 4 walls but we didn’t quite finish. We had to take a break to go win a soccer game (best game yet), and visit the grandparents. I got home from Stake Basketball and made dinner at 8pm and we were all spent. It’s hard being in a 4 foot crawl space all day. Our knees were killing and backs were aching so we called it a day.

    The Bearded Dragon Lizard also came for the weekend. He stayed in Cali’s room. The kids loved it and he was a big hit for cousins night but when we went to put Cali to bed in her crib right next to him she freaked out and started yelling “SCARY, SCARY” over and over so she got to sleep in mom and dads room 🙂

    GOOD WORK BOYS! Lets finish soon – Presidents DAY anyone????

    Green Bay Packers Just won the Super Bowl!! That was awesome. You know we are sitting here watching highlight after highlight, not wanting to go to bed so this moment can last forever… ahh, I might just watch sports center all week long.
    I caught the celebration on video – Here’s Ben’s reaction to the win… (remember he was on his mission in 97 when the Pack won it so he has been waiting a lifetime to SEE his team win the Super Bowl!!)
