  • This and that and this and that

    This has been one of the worse weather winters in a long time.  We've gotten feet of snow dumped on us 5-6 different times (in addition to the mere inches on a somewhat daily basis).  Yesterday it got a bit warm, but then right as everyone as leaving for work school it began to freeze rain and there were so many accidents.  A school bus tipped over on the road a few minutes away.  Pick up trucks off all over- and the county had a travel advisory so even though Matt made it to work he works for the county and they ground all the cars if there is a travel advisory and since Matt goes to his clients he was just stuck at the office all day.  Same thing today.  It was over 32 degrees when we got up this morning and raining- and then not even 20 minutes later it's snowing and windy!  So everything is a sheet of ice.  And yes I'm complaining!  =)  I hate being cold and snow is pretty, but it's COLD.  And I've done nothing useful lately other than clean.  We are in the process of getting estimates for our addition so that'll be fun once they start rolling in.  We did decide to use existing space and finish off our full attic rather than build off the end of the house.  Hopefully that's much cheaper!  Our house looks like a Cape Cod from the outside but doesn't have the nice dormers in the roof to make it look nice.  This is similar to what our house will look like when it's finsihed (minus the garage!)

    And this is kind of what it looks like now- well kinda- we have a much higher pitch on our roof so it's even steeper!

    So that'll be a nice change, plus we'll have two new (large) bedrooms
