The Master List!

l
I just had to take a picture of our white board! This is leaning again the kitchen wall. It is Ted and Eric's master list. It is joke every evening which chore gets crossed off!!! It is slowing getting completed. I am sure there will be more to add shortly!!

More House Pictures

Yesterday it was beautiful in the morning and early afternoon. Eric began working on the deck. He finished the deck and began the railing. Today we lost power until about noon so he got a late start. He is still working on the front and side railing.



The deck material is the color of a clay pot with white railings. It is a nice accent color to the siding.

The Washer Machine!


This something our family of 6 can't live without but ours decided to start making a loud screeching sound.
We need to make the decision to either call for a service repair to see what it would be to repair it or just junk it and buy new. We will keep you informed!

Returns!


Today, Chelsea Lumber took away a large pile of extra lumber, siding, nails, etc.. for a return. They also brought our decking materials-which I can't wait to see it in place. I love the color and pattern.

Allison at the Dentist


She was such a big girl. It made me proud. She had great teeth and her thumb sucking isn't affecting her teeth yet.

A small report on the house project!

Our friend, Dave, came over on Saturday to help Ted with the electrical. They have a little to do before the inspection.

Eric will be back soon to finish up the stairs, and some little things before the rough inspection.

The furnace needs a little more before we can call for that inspection.

So, we have a little to do in all areas before we can insulate and drywall.

We love Snow!


Our Cars!

Looking out towards the swing set!

Ted's measuring the snow!


We got over 12 inches of snow last night and this AM. We are supposed to get 3-4 more inches throughout today. It took Ted and I almost 2 hours to shovel out!! Mostly Ted doing it!!

When the girls wake up from their nap, we will take them back out for some sledding and snowman making!!
