The forecast is for snow today


 I don't know if we will get all the shingles on before the snow comes for not !!!!!
The existing bathroom cabinet doors are all refinished.  The door on the bottom is what they all looked like before we started.  We decided to keep these cabinets to save money to that hopefully have enough money in the budget to put granite in the kitchen.

   Well we have done alot of tinkering around the past month inside of the house while we were waiting for the permits to come through for the addition.  Now that all that is in place we have been running around the country getting quotes on cabinets  so we are crossing fingers that the last one will come in at a decent price as one of them came in at $58,000.00.  It just about gave us both a heart attack.  Well this week has been a busy week.  We had the hole dug for the addition on Monday, Tuesday the footings were poured, Wednesday the lego block walls went up and then on Thursday evening the walls were poured.  Friday we started putting the wrap on the walls and then finished it on Saturday.

Lift station for the Basement in the addition 

After a long hard day I got all the landscaping brick dug out and stack.  I smashed my fingers a few times and i don't know if my back and arms will ever feel the same again.  These were  about 21/2 feet wide all the the way around the the house.
