Floor - BEAUTIFUL Floor!!!

We swept and vacuumed and swept again. Then one by one, row by row, we made sure the nails and staples that held the plywood down were not sticking up. Ok - Now i already have raw spots on my knees and have not even started the hard part. Then we put the underlayment down and started the floor. Slow and easy, gentle - don't hit to hard or it dents. The guy's cut to length for us. 5 hours later we have a floor......and blisters, and bruises and places we did not know we could be sore. But check it out - it was worth it.


Even the inspector thinks so.

And then

Chillaxin at La Sonrisa






AND WE HAVE POWER

And we did it ourselves!!!
He thought and he studied and he thought and he studied.
He cut a hole in the wall and put the AC in.
He drilled holes in the studs and pulled the wiring.
He installed the plugs, and the breaker box.

He dug a ditch,


And burried the wire.


WE FLIPPED THE BREAKER

and the AC worked!
And Panzer is confused


Now if we just had insulation because there is no airconditioner that can cool down this building when it is 95 outside unless the room is insulated.


And for grins and giggles - look at the size of the grasshoppers

and the doodle bugs

Work, Work, and more Work


It has been so long since I posted last I almost forgot how. We have done more than I will ever be able to remember and put pictures up of but I will hit on some high spots. On Memorial day 2010 we worked on the ROOF LEAK. We discovered it while putting up twinkle lights in the drizzle. There was a big "nasty" spot that needed new deck, tar paper and shingles. We had lots of help, family and friends. The guys worked outside while the ladies fixed lunch and made pickles. The pickles should be ready today. We will have to check them out. So here are some pictures and a smile or two.

First you get to see the new sign I made for the front gate.






And these cows belong to the neighbors that lease our place for grazing. Aren't the cows and the grass pretty.



OK, now for pictures of the work. Here are my roofers. Don't know how to thank them enough since it rained again the next day.





And the ladies made pickles and fix the fresh produce grown in their garden.


FUN and DONE!!!
