Greg decided to patch the hole from the old gas line into the kitchen and we found more than a hole. Water had been leaking in through the exhaust vent and running down the wall. Oh, Joy!

We had painted backwards, bottom first because that was what I could reach by myself. I made Greg take a picture to prove I actually helped. Frightening. If I just looked out those windows at the deck on the other side I was fine. But kids climbing on the bottom of that ladder was just terrifying!!! <br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgagtHFemrk5XrmrKjcHOSjpWHA4WjD_dsqK19Sgfs-bREtRNPKOWK8tdgM2-tyCKiz-omYzrw7zktbgK8D2vvYAU2aiBQi_u_J0JR_ru_qPvBL2rqToIhDUuWGDakx0LZ4RovHJg7UYop4/s1600/008.JPG"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWqzxM0sU3VArdwS72tb_ozPWd1dhyyystHSjhyYS_0SI0zOHuRSphFgjF9Ziy7WoOqzGalZP0UW5w6JMz7hw5yjDr5JB0kLjKCDswLXsWTTT7YYcCl3mBDax20u0Qk9PR6kVDhVzUDzIm/s1600/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569999100693689346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWqzxM0sU3VArdwS72tb_ozPWd1dhyyystHSjhyYS_0SI0zOHuRSphFgjF9Ziy7WoOqzGalZP0UW5w6JMz7hw5yjDr5JB0kLjKCDswLXsWTTT7YYcCl3mBDax20u0Qk9PR6kVDhVzUDzIm/s400/008.JPG" border="0" /></a> The finished project.

It was so cute. It was my volunteer day so I got to help set it all up too... way fun! James enjoyed the ride too and went all around with Warren. I was overwhelmed by some of the parents creativity. There was a plane with a prop that turned and some of the cars had functioning lights. Our instructions said to keep it small, so we did. But some of the kids cars were huge! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561826695767274274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY-_Q_1LewlHDtPLH3QQfZPfLf0OnleSdxBN5c004Isa5R3Y9iV5xx94qBdVZc5c1EDBBthydfWRFSyQMH34Py8OHtKiWWF6_G-kbyLcCSVOl5N9-X4ItxzaE-STsOZWsnlp0_FOhpTYZ9/s400/030.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561826699004895986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABY5T2OD1DudgsWf3xTs5-FVS2S802i2TizjcjAsDgHFt64_oyyqt83ChN0ZuzHTALK0EKZpw8XCatgS_DJOpiCD4HFpRaoOBlXRvsV_R-MTTmTxKRu3z1q4lULXnMOl1SJ9JMy3JoksK/s400/002.JPG" border="0" /> We are finishing up the projects in the living room! YEAH! We installed new baseboards this week and Greg has been painting the upper story of the room. Really glad he volunteered for that job! Seems he has been doing all of the high elevation jobs lately. Right before Christmas our roof cap ripped off again and he had to go take it off. He almost fell off the roof in the process!

It was insain but I will get there in a minute. I just had to tell about Greg's father's day gift that he just got. Yes I know it's July. I promised Greg a whole day out for his present. So with my fabulous In-Laws we succeeded. Bruce and Patricia took the boys for the entire day! I think it was a present to me too. The boys must have been good because Momma Sexton invited them over again! Thank you Bruce and Patricia:)<br /><br />Greg and I went to Roaring Springs first then went out for dinner and then saw Inception. Can I say wow, what a movie. If you haven't seen it yet, go. My mind is still going in circles. You have to be patient through the first 10 minutes and then it starts to come together.<br /><br />As for our crazy week, It started with Warren and I getting rear-ended in Boise on Monday, had a fabulous day on Tuesday, went to the doctor on Wednesday and couldn't walk the rest of the week, Freezer died on Thursday and my meat went bad, Friday a cry for help! Mom and dad to the rescue. So all in all I feel very blessed looking back. Warren and I didn't get hurt, My foot feels better today, I got a day off with my sweetheart, I painted my living room, my jam wasn't ruined that had been in the freezer, and all is well. Maybe sometimes we have a weird week to remind us of all our blessing! And indeed I am blessed.Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14202208398621535197noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546118504638180615.post-31421448273409507182010-07-23T20:32:00.001-07:002010-07-24T11:38:47.988-07:00Step 1 Demolition<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguMl4gB0kD8O_URFtFDF6nSU2U8ixtdYKUHF6fkMARPkNw79Qq0pnGCtrY8LFo4SXBSgJ8TxRlAke0qb9BXaJxZ3uH0cSkVsde_cw4ZoZgDHKPbO-N-YlPA-OZHyjqaU2XchowOxizbZjP/s1600/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497311944373841906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguMl4gB0kD8O_URFtFDF6nSU2U8ixtdYKUHF6fkMARPkNw79Qq0pnGCtrY8LFo4SXBSgJ8TxRlAke0qb9BXaJxZ3uH0cSkVsde_cw4ZoZgDHKPbO-N-YlPA-OZHyjqaU2XchowOxizbZjP/s400/004.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt5o7eGv7zM8krgBqCgF_Ag41blhxyQyGrQqyzWnwqEvBtfs6My213crFf_f0qccGtI90BsLeZ8I0mFzP5cD-pm9kZT99c-8fapUOW4zZk-hmZpwvZ9AS-J-dylo3KOjoqHEmVGwrUEsA_/s1600/006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497311912920329714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt5o7eGv7zM8krgBqCgF_Ag41blhxyQyGrQqyzWnwqEvBtfs6My213crFf_f0qccGtI90BsLeZ8I0mFzP5cD-pm9kZT99c-8fapUOW4zZk-hmZpwvZ9AS-J-dylo3KOjoqHEmVGwrUEsA_/s400/006.JPG" border="0" /></a>We can't make an omlete without breaking some eggs.

Ever wondered what your house would look like with red carpet?</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>It nice to have a room almost put together. Looking forward to having the shelves finished. Greg is also building in a wood box <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">underneath</span> the shelves.

I could have fed the cat and been done in 2 minutes, but no, we have chores around here. Of course these chores turned into more of a cleaning project. The boys really did have fun and the cat always thinks the food is best right out of the container:)</div></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14202208398621535197noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546118504638180615.post-57683296923722481022010-02-10T21:05:00.001-08:002010-02-10T21:54:44.028-08:00A little light remodeling......Hmmmm<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Well, the demo has begun and we are living in our mess.
