Here we go again

Well, we managed to finish the bedroom in time for company. The colors don't capture well in a photo, but look terrific - dark navy, gray, and white trim. We're at it again in the basement family room, uncovering a nice fireplace we knew was in the wall and repairing some water damage under the window. I have a chimney sweep coming next week for a cleaning and inspection, and will run gas for a gas log. I'm also plumbing some conduit in the wall for tv cabling, and adding some additional lighting. I think we'll finish the fireplace in reclaimed brick and traditional mantel. The clock is ticking again with company coming for Thanksgiving - here we go...

Picking apples at grandma's house




Sent from my iPhone Sunday night at grandma's house, picking apples. Normally Tommy chucks rotten ones into the stream, but the stream is dry so instead he ran around taking bites out all the good apples. Good thing grandma's only making apple sauce.

Catching up

Well, in the last 2 weeks I haven't done much on the spare bedroom. Pat and I helped Brandon and Wiz with their car. It needed a master cylinder, new plugs, tires, brakes, inner and outer tie rods which took a few days. The brakes seemed to work okay at first, but they were still kind of mushy after a day. We took another night to bleed them again which helped a bunch, but there's still pedal fade so we must have another bad master cylinder. I can't help but give pat a bad time for buying a rebuilt cylinder to save $15. At least they work well enough we can do it again after we host company this next week.

The Bakker family also came down with a bad cold so there went another week. The pressures back on this weekend to catch up on the bedroom (as usual), but with helpers like these we'll be done in no time.
