Home Improving

We have been doing some major work on the house.  By "we" I mean Stewart.  I provide the moral support though. It's an important job.  First of all Stewart built a new fence.  He doesn't like to cut corners so he built it really sturdy and replaced everything.  It looks so good now that's it's all finished. We have a lot more privacy which is nice. 


Next, Stewart and my dad put in laminate wood flooring.  I did do the prep work which was pulling up carpet and linoleum and then a layer of plywood and more linoleum.  So I thought my part was harder but I was really glad I didn't have to do the boy's part. ;) 


 I love having a dad that know how to do all this stuff and can come help.  He and Stewart work well together so it's pretty awesome.
 Using power tools is never wrong.

 So much progress!  It took them 2 days to to  the entry and kitchen and then it took Stewart 2 nights to finish the hall and laundry room.

 The before:


 I love love love the new flooring! Now that it's all done it was SOOOOOOO worth it.

 Thanks to the wind storm in December we had roof damage.  We were able to get a new roof!

 The house looks sooooo good!  We love having a new roof.
