Weekly Bowling

Lilly, Mom and I go bowling pretty much weekly during the summer. They have a great snack bar (to have lunch at) and its fun to bowl. Here is Lilly with some of her bowling flair.

Here she is receiving instruction from Grandma.

Copper is great!

Here’s a picture of mom looking out the guest bedroom window. She is admiring the copper roof below.

Bathroom Updates

The master bathroom door is now installed. And the finishing touches have been put on the half-bath downstairs.

Hardwood Floor Dilemma

Well the hard wood floor is kind of finished. It lacks its last coat of polyurethane that was supposed to be put on last night. The flooring guy basically wanted his check yesterday (after stalling on our floor for 5 weeks) and when Brian told him he couldn’t have it until next Tuesday the guy didn’t put on the last coat. Since we have our floor, Brian fired the guy last night. We won’t be getting our matching mesquite newels or rail, but we ordered white newels (we already have white balusters ) and the painter said he could match an oak railing to the mesquite coloring. Of course we’ll still have to figure out how much to pay the bozo that did the flooring seeing as how he destroyed out back door and messed up the dry wall in several areas along the floor line.

Hopefully we can get the stairs finished up the beginning of next weeks so we can get our house inspected and we can close on it (so we don’t lose our sweet locked interest rate)

The pictures below are of down the stairs, the dining room and my office respectively.

Living Room

Here is an updated picture of the living room. The carpet was installed (as you can see Lilly enjoys it) yesterday and the “tile guy” just finished with the fireplace. The fireplace is a poured sandstone. The painters are in today staring touch up work.

Delighted..not really

The hard wood guy is seriously slowing down progress so no new pictures. However this does bring me joy, as Lilly and I have become PBS junkies during the week.



This is captain huggy face doing his end of the episode dance to one of his vocab words. It's fun to dance along and the music rocks.
