Progress.....

 After my weekend.....I feel like crawling back into bed
I worked with our oldest son and we painted over at my neighbors
house. One of her bedrooms and all of her trim throughout the upstairs
and part of the downstairs. It's an older home so we ran into a few snags
along the way. One of them was her little dog was mad at his Mommy and had
left her a lot of presents throughout......I'll leave you there.
 Remember months ago when we started our journey....
 Look at that ice
 progress...
 a little more
 This Sunday Phil got it finally enclosed and moved his door
we still have to cut out the windows.
 What must people think with all of the colors going on
I'm hoping for nice weather so we can continue painting the kids and I.
Phil got the front sided and the dormer done.
It all takes time.....but it feels so good to see some progress!
Then remember a few weeks ago the broken bed
now the boys this morning wrestling in the living room
landed hard on the couch and broke it, see the boards
laying there.....thank God my Mr. fixit man comes home tonight!
Poor guy worked straight through his Holiday yesterday!
What a gem!

I hope your week is off to a great start also.....

    Things are really coming along well. It will be wonderful once it is all done - all the hard work will be worth it. Glad Mr Fixit is on his way home.
    Here's to a good week,
    Mimi

    Its amazing just how far you have come. That can be the thing with big renevations they take time. I get frustrated when things linger to long. You must be a saint!

    Look forward to seeing more completed work!

    Your house is looking brilliant! Good things come to those that wait.

    I'm glad my kids aren't the only ones who seem to break things all the time. Will it never end?

    I think you should guard your tables! Your boys must have plenty of energy. Loving seeing your new house coming on, it's looking great.

    At least your boys are well, boys & were playing around, when my little sweet 3rd girl who weighs all of 22kg (about 47lbs) aged 10 had her bed base snap. It was replaced without question, but seriously, children's beds should be way tougher!! Sorry about the lounge, those boys!! Super lucky your husband can fix it, then make it 'there spot' to sit, just in case anything pokes out, it gets them. Love Posie

    Somehow I missed this post and the one before it. It might seem slow to you but it seems like you and your husband have really been moving along on this. It's going to be so beautiful. I bet it feels funny to have it enclosed. Can you walk from one end to the other now? I'm loving the pictures Heidi. Have a beautiful week. Hugs, Diane
