Working hard at the rentals this week to get some time in with my Aunt & Uncle who are traveling across country, camping along the way. They should arrive on Saturday...and we hope to spend a fun week with them...some projects and some fun time...hopefully some camping on the coast for a few days.
The Mess.......it was a full pickup load when we were finished!We've finally finished the siding. What started out as a "few pieces" that needed replaced...ended up being MANY pieces that needed replaced. It took us about 5 days to cut out the old siding (without damaging the good siding), rip out the rotted wood underneath, replace wood, reside, caulk and now we're onto painting....finally! We will be replacing trim as we go, but want to get the paint on the house, and work on the trim later. We have doors to replace and those "neat" circular overhangs....
those are going to be a bugger! Uncle Rudy is coming though, and he's always a great source for helping us get on the right track when we're stuck! Not that we're stuck...we just don't have a good direction on these things!Both kids have been at friends for two nights....it has allowed us some time to get some things done, and organized...although I'm missing them tonight!! I've been on cat, rat, doggie & fishy duty the last two days....poor fish...forgot them until tonight! I guess the kids DO do something around here....I know I'm tired!
Here's some fun pictures of the cats....Zorro has taken over Ashley's basket...in a whole new way!! Still missing her...but these two kittens sure have taken some of the hurt away!
They were watching Bill on the driveway...he was taking their picture!!
