We've done a lot since we've moved in and I am super thankful for all the work my hubby does around here!

Much going on over here...

We have been busy with so much over here.

Baseball season has started, Merci is playing softball this year and Ethan is playing Tball again. We have at lest 2 games a week, last week 3 (thank God the 4th got canceled due to rain.)

On top of that Josh has been working on many projects around here. He built a fence for us to enclose the yard for the puppy and so we can put up a pool this year. He also started and almost finished the kids play house (with storage for outside toys underneath) we've been talking and dreaming about for years. The kids are super excited! On top of that he is working on the lighting in the basement, installed a shelf along one of Merci's walls and then I decided to rip out the carpet in the office as well...


And of course a bunch of stuff in between too!

Bragging Rights part 2

A project Josh did last week:

Entertainment unit before (not a good pic but the only one I could find)

And entertainment unit after (yep same one!), to fit NEW TV

And Another project:

Just a normal cute little table, we've had for awhile
(sorry slipcovers being washed UGLY couch in back ground)

Josh fabricated it to open up on hinges, and he put a bottom on it and now it hides all the remotes!

Is he AWESOME or what??

And the dishwasher is here! Just can't use it right now...it is a portable one, but won't fit our faucet so Josh might run water hoses from basement to the dishwasher and then it doesn't have to be portable! We will see. And do you see the orange towels?? That is what color my kitchen will be...someday!

Bragging rights

I wanted to brag on my husband a bit.
He has done SO MUCH, since we moved in.
He makes whatever I mention I might want.

I LOVE how handy he is and the fact that what he makes comes out so much better than I thought it would!

We have HUGE lack of counter and cupboard space, well usable cupboard space, that I can reach without a ladder...LOL.

We have very deep cupboards, which is good but causes much more rearranging and digging than preferable to get at stuff.

I had mentioned I wanted slide out things on my bottom cupboards, we were looking at Lowes but they were either cheap or really expensive, so he MADE me some.

Just like that!
I mentioned it as a future purchase/project.

So here you have his handiwork, Oh and I have a few more projects to show off as I remember to take pictures, and I still have to show the finalized kids rooms.
