We've Been Framed!

I am standing in the living room. The kitchen is behind me. The spare bedroom is to the left and the laundry/utility room is to the right.

Wheelbarrow


This wheelbarrow has been working very hard for us. It has moved trash and items to the garage attic. I didn't know how much I could appreciate a wheelbarrow and how handy one could be. Thank you, wheelbarrow! As your reward, I will hook you up with the HOE for the evening!

The Man Cave






We spent last weekend clearing out the basement so we could start the renovation. We built a shed to store the lawn mowers and tools. I have never seen a man so excited to have an outbuilding to call his own where he can hammer nails, saw things in half and just hang out with beer in hand. Jeff plans to decorate with liquor mirrors that he acquired while managing the liquor store (in 1980). It will be painted white.
Jeff keeps joking that he will go there when he's in the "dog house". I told him to hang out there as much as he wants. He has a mini frig, a fan and a new radio. All he needs now is a comfy lawn chair and he will have a hang out to rival Bob Pulley's.

The following pictures are of Jeff trying to get down from the loft in the shed. Lindsay ended up in the yard rolling around, laughing hysterically and I just about wet my pants.
The poor guy was just hanging there helpless. I finally got my composure and helped him find his footing.







This picture was taken by Lindsay after our long day of heavy lifting and moving. I can't believe we didn't get any pictures of Lindsday. She was such a huge help. We wouldn't have gotten half done what we did without her.
