Could we spend any more money this year?

I took Daniel to the orthodontist this morning. Yikes. Not only is his mouth a mess due to a small pallet and a cross bite, but his jaw is growing apart so he has a huge space between his upper and lower teeth. They would like to put a spacer in that we screw open a little wider each day. To the tune of two grand, thank you very much. They think that he will later need braces with elastics that will try to pull the two jaws together. If that does not work then he is looking at surgery. Poor kid. Poor us.

In other news.... we ripped the bathroom wall out today and noticed that the leak that we are repairing is not the first leak in that spot. In fact there is dried out rotton wood in the wall. Nice fix up job guys! Thankfully though we are not going to have to mess with the floor. Tomorrow Brian will be back at it to put up the new gyprock, and then we will let it dry for a couple of days, then put in the surround, then I will paint. I'm also going with some wainscotting. I can't wait til it's done. Maybe in time for Norm!
