The biggest loser finale through the noise of the work being done in the kitchen


This is hilarious...John did not came but J D did...Do not try to understand them......but as long as the work gets done that's a +....The electricity will be completed before Xmas I was told.....we'll see.
-----------------------------------------
C'est comique........John ne s'est pas presente mais J D est venu....Ne pas chercher a les comprendre.....mais tant que le travail se fait c'est deja ca.......L'electricite va etre complete avant Noel m'a ete dit....on verra bien.

Tuesday no snow.....Mardi pas de neige...

J D never showed up but the tiles for the kitchen floor are in. John is supposed to come finish the plumbing this afternoon.
----------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------Well, 8:30 AM, J D showed up and started to change the electric panel and the meter outside.
5:00 PM everything is almost done, we have power back and the heater is on......lucky it wasn't that cold today. He will be back tomorrow to continue to hook up the rest and do the wiring in the bathroom and kitchen. Sounds good...one step at the time we will get there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bien, 8:30 AM, J D est arrive et commence a changer le panneau electrique et le meter dehors.
5:00 PM presque tout est termine, on a du courant et la fournaise se fait aller, une chance qu'il ne faisait pas trop froid aujourd'hui. Il revient demain apres son travail pour continuer a joindre tous les fils, faire le filage pour la salle de bains et la cuisine. Prometeur....un pas a la fois on va y arriver.
