Early July 2009

It's just after the Fourth of July weekend and we are back in Indiana and back to reality. We just spent 4 days in Michigan and we got a lot of work done up there.

A couple milestones were reached this weekend.

1. Kitchen is complete

2. All walls and ceiling in Great Room are covered in Knotty Pine

3. Sue Ann completed a front sidewalk. It looks great.I forgot to take a photo:(

I still have 2 bedrooms and a utility room to go, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

We hope to have guests next weekend. The Grimm's are going to pay us a visit. Hope to do some fun things and relax a bit too. We are also looking forward to a visit from Mom, Sara and Jan at the end of the month. It will be nice to have family up to see our progress.

Here are recent photos, taken during the last few weekends. I hope you enjoy them.
Take Care,

Randy

Sue Ann prepping the kitchen floor for tiles.

Vinyl Tiles being placed on the kitchen floor.

Soon, the yellow plastic "curtains" will be history. We are tired of looking at them, but they keep people from looking in while we are gone.

Making a mirror for the bathroom.

The very last section of ceiling to be done!!!

Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The view is from our porch. It got down to 39 degrees that night. Burrrr!

I entered this photo, taken by Sue Ann last summer, in an on-line photo contest sponsored by Digital Photo Review web site. It won a prize! 96th place out of 219 entries.
