Today Chris needed some plumbing buddies. A very simple task: turn the Pex piping around when he pulled on it so it didn't get stuck. So simple, yet so necessary. When he pulled on the pipe, he'd shout: "Plumbing Buddy!" That was their cue. The boys were ecstatic to be helping Papa!


Max would get a determined face on and turn the pipes forcefully, knowing he was doing something important. (He was!) Ben, on the other hand would smile and "jump" the pipes around. Hilarious.

We also did some cleaning today like we always do. Here's Max vacuuming. (I hope he does this after the house is built too!)


Today was a balmy 45 degrees around the center of the house near the heater (basement). It was 34 degrees in the basement away from the heater, along the outside wall. And upstairs? It read in the 20s.
