He's added insulation and the board on the top. He cut in a small shelf for soap and shampoo bottles. You might not be able to tell from the photo, but the bottom of the studs are in pretty bad shape along the back/outside wall. Bryan is going to ask Allen if he can replace a section of them. We're not sure whether it's bug or water damage (or a little bit of both). The exterminator was supposed to come out on Monday at noon, but I don't know that he made it. I should probably call them tomorrow to verify - before Allen closes up the wall.
On a slightly different note - we sold my Jeep to Carmax tonight. While signing the paperwork I noticed that the odometer only read 99,744 miles, making this the first time we've ever sold or traded-in a car before it reached 100K miles. Hopefully selling the Jeep will lessen the insurance burden (need to shop that around and find a better price) and we can use the money from the sale to pay either the Lowe's bill or Allen. I surprised myself by not being all nostalgic over the Jeep - I loved that car. We brought Cameron home from the hospital in that car. I still had my Galveston resident sticker on the windshield.
But time marches on - and we're in a different phase of life. Minivans, road trips, and so on. I even picked up a t-shirt that says "Soccer Mom!"
