Worker Man

Randy and ZMan gutted ZMan's bedroom this past Spring. Last weekend ZMan was helping to hang sheet rock. He is very anxious to have his bedroom completed.

We have grass!!

Randy has spent the last few weeks working on our front yard, pulling weeds, laying edging around the yard and putting mulch and top soil down. Yesterday Tiff and Allen came down from Logan to help Randy in the yard digging up the yucky dirt and putting down top soil. They were also going to move a bunch of big rock around and position them in the front of the yard. On their way home from the dump a neighbor pulled Randy over and offered him their extra sod so of course Randy accepted it and now we have grass. It makes a huge difference in the yard and it looks great. I can't wait for it all to be completed, Randy even plans on having a waterfall in the right corner by our front door. I'm so happy with the progress and Randy's hard work.

Our Completed Deck

Tonight Allen finished the deck. Isn't it wonderful? Now R will need to sand it and stain it. It's a wonderful additional to our home and I love it! A great big thanks to Tiffi, Allen and R. I'm thanking Tiffi because she gave up her husband while he was working on the deck. Allen deserves a huge thank you for all his time and energy working in the hot sun to help us, thank you so much. Of course R deserves a thanks for working in the hot sun with Allen and he has to find a way to pay for it all. R also bought us a new BBQ which we will try out tomorrow.

The Deck

Allen went home yesterday afternoon and R stayed out working on the deck. He finished added the cedar planks. It looks really nice. They need to trim the ends, add a railing and build the steps. My understanding is that the wood will need to set for a few months then we'll need to stain it before winter. I'm really happy with the deck.

Deck is getting there

I wish I had taken pictures when it was just framing planks for a few days. Today they started adding the cedar planks across the top and it's finally looking like a deck. They are hoping to have all the cedar planks on tomorrow before Allen has to go. This is what it looked like last night when they finished.
