Hanging around...

Ev's having fun just hanging in the basement. Thanks Aunt Abby for picking that up for us at IKEA.


Nan picked up this cubby storage at an auction a couple weeks ago. I should have gotten a before picture, after some Elmer's wood filler and a couple coats of paint its looking pretty good.


Nan put some time in today cleaning and organizing in the basement, which was a job since it had become my catch-all for tools and supplies during this whole house project. Thank you, my dear.


Spent the day wiring in the bathroom. Having light on a switch is way more convenient than pulling a string for it, plus I won't seem quite as crazy when I'm not swatting at a string that I think is a fly buzzing my head while working in there.

Before pictures...

I've loaded up a bunch of prepurchase pictures of Ev's new house....

House before purchase...

The new shower...

The whole family is quite happy about having a shower on the main level now. No more trips down to the basement for that.



Now this next image might scare some of you out there, but this basement shower that we've been using for the last month had its fine points, like hot water and.... a camping type setting.... and hot water.

It's good to have people who take care of you...

It's very nice to have help cleaning up when the going gets dirty.


Sheewww... Dada was dirty...


Cant remember the last time I went pheasant hunting 2 weekends in a row, probably not since the college days, I am getting so spoiled. Again this weekend probably too warm for hunting, pheasants go out and sunbath in this weather. Mark from the office was kind enough to come along with Tipper the Brittany and Mark from Dan's office was the only who got one.


Someone is getting bigger....
