remodeling
October 10, 2008 – 9:44 pm
We’re remodeling the addition, which houses a hall with closets and built-in drawers, a laundry room, a full bath, and the guest room. We’re going for a cottage style which is a departure from the rest of the house, but since the addition is a 1960 build-on and is separate from the rest of the […]
autumn colors
October 10, 2008 – 12:33 pm
I took a little stroll around the yard yesterday, in the late afternoon. I’d been painting chairs and needed to get outside and away from renovating for a while. I hate missing the perfect weather we’ve been having, so out I went. Here are a few pictures from the yard. Can dogwood leaves look any […]
not quite friends…yet
October 9, 2008 – 9:44 pm
Yesterday and today, we left the doors open for Niko and let him come and go as he pleased. While I worked in the scrapbook room last night, Niko stayed nearby. He seems to like to be around people. He was interested in the printer when I ran off the bulletin inserts. The printer always […]
niko explores
October 8, 2008 – 9:41 pm
Yesterday and today, we put Buttercup in the basement for a while, and let Niko roam around the house. He was happy to be out of the bedroom. In the kitchen, he stood at the back door and watched the outdoor cats. He thought DD’s school book bag was full of interesting smells. This evening […]
before and after…or after and before…
October 7, 2008 – 10:07 pm
Here’s the new view of the house from the mailbox. This picture was taken from very near the same vantage point, in May of 2005. With the two pine trees and the oak tree from the center of the driveway gone, the house can now be seen from the road. Sure looks odd without those […]
bye-bye, pine trees!
October 7, 2008 – 11:50 am
It was rainy and a bit chilly this AM, but Paul and his crew were here before 8:00 to take down three trees for us. In the center of the driveway, they removed the oak on the left and the pine tree on the right. They also removed the large pine by the front porch. […]
pizza
October 7, 2008 – 9:36 am
Last Friday I decided to veer off the menu and I made pizza for supper. I made the recipe for the 40 minutes buns, and used half to make a pizza crust and half to make six rolls. It made a delicious thick crust. Half cheese for DD and half veggies for DH and me. […]
niko gets comfy
October 6, 2008 – 10:35 pm
Niko seems to be quite relaxed and easy going. He is still being kept in DD#2’s room while he adjusts. And while Buttercup adjusts to the fact that there is a new kitty around. DD found him in the bathroom sink when she went in to visit this afternoon. He likes to have someone around. […]
