April 9th

Rainy day. Here's what I came home to late tonight:

Fine, make fun of my sing song voice. Be that way. I'm just excited! You can't bring me down! Until we have to paint the bay next week. But then we'll be done!

Nope I was wrong...Mom just reminded me...we still have the outside painting to do. But that'll be for better weather...at least I hope so. Man...I've never had to paint the outside of a house before...wonder if that's a bit harder than painting the inside of a home...or painting furniture as Audra likes me to do for her. :)

April 8th

So, today I was rushing home cause I had ordered a pizza for dinner that I was told would be delivered no later than 5:06 p.m. But while I was letting Cody out to go potty he snuck his head out of his collar and ran into the woods. So I then spent the next 15 mintues trying to get him to come out and come to me...as those woods by D's place are steep hills and really muddy.

As I pull into the driveway the pizza guy is all ready there and he's walking from around our house...as I guess since we didn't answer the front door we might be in back? So I pay for the pizza's and am a bit harried when all of a sudden I take a look at the house and try to figure out what happened today. Now, the mystery is over:

So I barely finish that video when Mom gets home and I quickly show her what was done. We then eat dinner and watch the Cupid episode from yesterday. (Pretty cute show by the way.) Soon thereafter we shut off the TV and get to work. Here's another thing we realized was done, and what we accomplished today.

It's getting there. He will definately be done by Friday! But I don't think we will have it all together when my Aunt and Cousin come to visit and arrive on Friday night. All though Friday is Good Friday and my office closes at noon....so I guess I could get some stuff done. :) Matt is to come over that afternoon and help us replace the doornobs on 3 doors...so I'll have a couple of videos for you that day as well.

So, then there won't be daily videos. Hope you miss me...and my continual comment of "Isn't it PRETTY!!??" You know you'll miss it. :)

April 7th

Here is what I came home to today:

Weekend & April 6th

Some of Mom's pretty flowers that bloomed this weekend

Now, on Saturday we got a new water heater installed in our home...and man does that thing work! Faster and hotter water than I can ever remember us getting out of our house. :) So it was interesting the first few times we tried it out...still used to really having to let it run to get the hot water upstairs, but not anymore! :) Here's a pic of our new water heater...cause I just knew you wanted to see it:

Here's the new controls....still have to figure these out. :)

April 6th

Yay! So even though it snowed a bit today...don't worry nothing stuck to the ground...a lot of inside work was completed on our kitchen upgrade. Enjoy!

Can't wait for tomorrow!

April 3rd

Today was a relatively nice day, so some inside work was done and some outside work was done. Here's the video summary:

Now not all the woodpecker holes are filled in or fixed yet, but the HUGE ones are now so I guess that is at least something. :)

He called and said that he will be here for a bit on Saturday. We are getting our new water heater installed and there are a couple of other kitchen things he wants to work on tomorrow. Should be interesting since we are supposed to be watching conference most of the day. But Bill did say that as of Saturday morning we can walk on the floor again! YAY!

Although now Mom is wondering about sealing the grout. Another step? So close to being done with that. This whole walking through the garage and in through the front door to go between the TV and the temporary kitchen and bathroom, and even bed...is just slightly annoying. :) But it is all worth it in the end.

April 2nd

Okay, here is the update on what was accomplished yesterday:

The contactor's son is babysat during the day by one of our family friends and when he went to pick him up yesterday, he told her that this was the most beautiful floor he has ever laid down. :) YAY! I like that. hehe.

We'll see what gets done today. :P
