A whole new year!

A year ago tomorrow we started on this crazy adventure.

Here are some photos of the day.



We have come a long way baby!!!

This one is for you Judy Lock!

No words necessary - it looks great!

Weekend progress - October 16, 2011

Eric got the hot tub working. He really can't wait to get in. It is currently a balmy 65 degrees so I am pretty sure it won't be today! We have not enjoyed the hot tub in a super long time because we did not have it at all last winter).

Eric also hooked up the gas line to the grill. I used it last night to cook the beef for green chile stew. Yummy! I love having a gas line to the grill so I never have to worry about running out of propane.

We installed a new light fixture in the laundry room. It looks nice, and it matches the future backsplash really well. But it is a little bit of a dark (rather than light). Not sure if this will last. I am really worried about 1) a light fixture that is too tall because the ceiling is low in there and 2) a light fixture that gets too hot. No need to add heat to laundry room that is already a hot job. We will see.

Safety first - with a little kitty therapy

Eric has just installed fire and carbon monoxide alarms. Yes, I know this should have been done long ago, but if you choice is between a towel bar and a fire alarm, I chose towel bar. Eric has set it up to work with his bed shaker. Also the bed shaker now works with the doorbell. All of this had to be tested. You can imagine how the cats have felt about the doorbell ringing and alarm chiming. Not good!

Carousel horse spot is filled!!
