House Pics...

This is mostly for Grandma and Tess who ask about the house and aren't able to see it upon completion. I know Clint and Katie have been way too busy to get some pictures posted, so hope it's all right if I post them here. (I guess since Brent and I do a lot of the work too, they can't mind!) Here are the promised updated house pics. It changes daily, but as of last night....

That's what I've been up to for the last few days! Clinton's house has come to the point of the finish work, so last week he was puttying and Brent was caulking, and then they sprayed all the woodwork and the ceilings...Then it was my turn to go and help out. I am the 'cutter-inner', which means my brush hand gets pretty tired! Clint and I painted the kitchen, dining, back entry and living room on Thursday. Then on Friday I helped a little with the Laundry room, but then I started helping Brent with the hardwood floor. We worked on that all day Saturday and was able to finish it up, Clint and Katie painted bathrooms and laundry room, in preparation for the tile. They worked all day yesterday and today laying the tile, and Brent and I switched off and did the painting. We got all the entry way and hallway and Master Bedroom done, so just a couple more bedrooms to go! Tomorrow they are installing all the cabinets and granite, and all the light fixtures and electrical outlets, then on Thursday the appliances will be delivered and installed. Brent has to lay the entry way wood floor and build the railing and they have to build a couple of stairways from the bay doors outside going down to the back patio. Then...it's just about done, except for the carpet!! Oh yeah, I forgot, Clinton still has to rock the fireplace, too!

Thanks, and have a great day!

Happy Birthday Jaron!

Today is the birthday of my oldest child...Jaron Brent. I can't believe that it has been 30 years!! I'd like to say that it feels like just yesterday, but it really doesn't, it's been awhile! Just wanted to wish him a very happy birthday! He is a busy man with four small children and being a manager at Cracker Barrel, I know that he gets tired and stressed, but hope that today he can have a great day, and know how much we love him! Happy Birthday Jar-Bear!
