Fencing Anyone?

Dean and I started on the fence for the back yard. It is a white picket style about 4' tall with the posts at 8'o/c. It laid out really well and we should only need to build a gate. The Arbor will come later after Tia returns from Colorado. Tomorrow we will install the fence panels and it will look great! Dean and I poured the dry concrete into the holes with a little water to follow. No mixing this time. I am pretty sure this will work well in this application.

Kids beds

Here are some pictures from the kids loft beds. These allow more usable space in the room and move the sleeping quarters up and out of the way. We also discovered that when the kids are sick it is hard to get them in and out. Overall this is the best solution to our 'one room for the kids' problem. They still need a little finishing but overall I give them a 10.



Cost new:-$400-$500

Cost to build: $175

More time than money means a lot of savings.

Almost official

Well it looks like we will be going ahead with the remodel. Lora the kids & I moved in a week ago under the pretense of early occupancy. I manufactured a loft bed for Madelyn, while Isaiah's is still under construction. Pictures coming soon. This will allow the kids a lot more space in their shared room.

Dean and Tia are here full time now and the Hawthorne house should close today (fingers crossed).

There is so much to do around here. The future looks like a lot of dust and paint chips.

I am not a plumber.

This leaks and that leaks. I fix it and it still leaks. Leaks, leaks, leaks. I capped off a pipe that has no supply connected to it, but it leaks. Now the toilet supply leaks a little. It is also connected to the same supply line that is really not connected to anything. Did I mention that I am not a plumber.

Oh yeah, I hooked up the washer and it leaked. I think I may have that one fixed though.
