A Little Fresher

Wow. I am impressed. I just viewed "A blog of interest" listed on Blogger developed by a woman who runs a hospital in Boston. What motivation! This blog is NOT like that.

I said we'd give an update. Poor you all, I have NOT taken pictures of any interesting activities we've done. So, I just ran all over the house snapping a few of our house. Scott continues to move along on our remodel. His imagination and go-for-it spirit is admirable. It'll be great when it's all done.

In these first pictures, tell me what you see. I am most excited about this.


We (Scott with generous help of our church family), is building a laundry room at the end of our extra-long garage. It will be plumbed, electrocuted ( ;-) ), and sheet rock hung. This is just off the kitchen. He was very excited to use this tool in the remodel:



Here's the new plumbing that our friend helped install. We're so grateful to him. It's the second time he's been out and we'll probably need it once more, when taking out the old stuff. You can see the floor Scott has 2/3's in. The strange picture of wood that is unidentifiable is looking up at the ceiling/shelving of the room.
He was thoughtful to put in a door with a big window so I'd have natural light for laundry work.




Painting. You can see the clean wall against the nasty trim of our front door. The walls looked like the trim, maybe even worse. It's soooooooooooo nice to have them clean and painted, though I'm slow in getting it done (We have a hard time agreeing on colors, for one thing). Scott and I have worked together on it for the most part. It would take me two-times as long, or more. You can see the challenge of our coved ceilings when it comes to painting accent colors. I taped it at the crease.


Finally two cute closing shots of our day-to-day. Toby is helping me vaccuum. He sits on my work like this almost every time. Next: Ranne taking a bath. We bought the goggles for him, thinking it would make camp showers less traumatic and more fun. It didn't help, but he plays with them now.

Ooooooooh, it's interesting to see the progress y'all have made with your laundry room/garage project! This is MOST fascinating to me, though I don't see anything particularly 'fascinating' about the pictures you posted of the wall/s. Explanation please??

Annnnnnnd, how are you feeling?? Do you have a due date for this baby?

You see NOTHING. No more red floor-stain handprints on the walls. Yipee!
