Quick catch up on some old stuff and new...
MRock is the manufactured stone that we will be using on the front of the garage with diamond mesh to mount it on - Peter's new wheelbarrow from Sam's Club (great price if you need one!) - And stairs for our attic access... This picture has probably a months worth of projects in it!!!
When cleaning out the basement a few weeks ago, Peter found this little piece of excitement - Sorry it's so blurry, but it's a big bee nest! Ack. Glad they had vacated by the time he found it!
Here's what Peter worked on all weekend... You might remember that the chimney was the source of the leak in our bedroom? Well, no longer! The chimney has been completly removed, with a shed built around the back of the fireplace... we plan to replace the wood burning stove eventually with a gas stove. For now it'll just be for looks, and the monstrous, ugly chimney is gone! :)
And a peek at what I worked on this weekend - a RED dining room with white wainscoating... I LOVE IT! It looks so regal. Also, see those pretty flowers? My sweet hubby brought them home today! :)
In other news, our new roof will be installed tomorrow! And even more exciting... MOM IS COMING tomorrow!!! She's on a red eye tonight and should arrive around 11am. I'm soooooooo excited to have her here for the week!!! :)
We were sooooo fortunate to have had some good friends come lend a hand this weekend! Ken and Mark helped Peter with the chimney project and Liesl finished painting the living room! If they're reading this... THANK YOU oodles!!!
'Nuf for now - it's "goin' on midnight" - as my pops would say!

T'was showing your 'home improve-
ment' project to Gramps and noticed it's the DINING RM. you painted red, NOT your bedroom!! Is it a really red, red?
Seems like you've been paintin' up a storm your whole married life :) :) Do you have a special brand you like?
What room is next?!?!

Love the color!
Miss you!
You're welcome... I think I remember thanking you profusely for your help at our house... it's so much less of a chore when it's done w/ friends!!
The flowers are great & I love the pic w/ them and the dining room... can't wait to see it (in person) finished.
