Hammerheads Day Two

Since you asked, Hammerheads is a new show for HGTV so you will not have seen it yet. If you are an HGTV junkie you may recognize our host Steve Hanneman from Design to Sell and... Weekend Fix or something like that?


Today a good amount of time was spent by the carpenter's at perfecting the leveling of the foundation and the measurements. To their detriment really - they were here til 8pm trying to knock the slide landing out and get the suspension bridge sorted.


Since we weren't really expected to work today Steve and Abby just spent a few hours priming the walls. Abby had a nice long adventure to the Farm where she rode around on Janie the Mule! MarySue apparently has pictures but I don't have them in my hot little hands.

So even though I only had to oversee the munchkin for a few hours today - well... 5... any amount of time trying to manage a four year old in a construction site is exhausting fyi. I don't want to be too crazy strict or else she'll take it out on the project plus they want her to be comfortable enough with the people and the project that they can get her doing funny things on film. Not to mention by tonight she was just plain exhausted.

As am I. They do keep mentioning the sod but still not in a 'we're going to do it' way as much as a 'we wish it wasn't an issue' way.

Back to the project - they worked very very hard today and there were no cameras to document it. They want this series to work obviously which is nice really because they are very invested therefore in the work they are doing for us.


It doesn't look like much yet, but I think it will be really really nice.

P.S.

I hope they're making this thing strong enough for big kids cuz that suspension bridge looks mighty inviting.
