There has been a lot going on in our part of the world lately, but nothing really blog worthy, so I thought that I would post some "Before and Afters" on the inside of the old house on the property

Remember the living room? 

You can check it out from 2010

"A Fall Project"

At the end of summer last year, some of the summer staff needed a project, so I got them started on painting a couple of the bedrooms. I won't go into detail on that ordeal, but the rooms did get painted  and between a couple of volunteers and Holly and Myself, we got three bedrooms "refreshed".

Of course I didn't think of taking "Before" pictures , but the following two pictures will give you an idea of what the bedrooms looked like. 

I think you get the picture......

Bed Room #1

Bed Room #2

Bed Room #3

 (Holly painted the picture on the wall as well as two others. Wonderful to have such talent on staff)

 I am not sure that I want to let Summer Staff loose in the house with paint again, so we will resume the project in the fall.

There are 7 more bedrooms and a Sun Room in the house.

Hope your day was special too!!

As we finished out last summer, Ken and I had high hopes of getting lots done at our house. With Katie gone to College, we thought that we would have tons of time for our list of projects. Well, here we are getting ready to start another summer and what have we accomplished?

The main project is to finish our basement. I have to say that it is started and I have taken some "before" pictures, but want to wait and post them with the "after" pictures, so stay tuned. Our goal is still to get it done before the middle of June.

We did get Ken's office done! This room was finished, but we had a bit of a flood last summer, (long story), so we had to put new carpet down. The other problem was that the doorway was too narrow to get his drafting table in, so he hadn't quite got moved in. Thanks to Ken's handy sawsall, he made the door opening larger and we were able to get his table in. It was interesting to get his things out. Many of them go back to his office in Grass Valley.

Katie is home for Easter Break. She will be here for over a week.

Already relaxing with a good book, (not a text book).
