The Trees are getting a haircut.

This past weekend we worked out in the yard and gave the tress a hair cut. We have some work still left to do this coming weekend but the house is now visable adding a little more curb appeal.
Before & During

Flowers my wife planted

Today I found that I could post the weather on the blog, which is a little too late for everyone to see the heat index of summer around here. My wife planted these sunflowers from seed in our garden. She makes everything so nice in the house.

Entry room started

This weekend we have started the entry room. We were going to make a small second bedroom here but it would be 7' x 12' and when I drew the framing marks on the floor my wife showed me how it would be difficult for anyone of size to even come into the house. I thought we could sell the home only to skinny people but no such luck. Now it will be another living room or something like that. Here are the before pictures.

One of those Before & After pictures

Here is a before and after shot, from when we first started until today. Still more to do but it is a far cry from where it was.

New Floor

New Floors this weekend! We found a deal on flooring and put it in. The living room is coming along. We have resurfaced the plaster walls, dropped in a new sub floor, painted, redid the windows and put in a working ceiling fan. Other stuff as well but I don't remember it all. Those pictures will follow shortly.
