Bryce and I have had the pleasure of having members of both of our families come out for a little while in the past few weeks, and we sure have put them to work! My mom and little sister made the trek out for a few days, and we tackled all the curtains and planned out some decorating. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from this adventure, but I'll try to get some shots of the rooms to show the improvements that they helped with. They made a huge difference in the house!
This past weekend we (when I say we, it doesn't necessarily include me) tackled our largest project yet. We replaced all 4 windows on the front side of the house. The ones we had were pretty bad and leaked water in bad storms and were quite drafty. Its been wonderful to have the new ones in, and I'm sure we'll be even happier when we see the heat bill going down! The best part was that Charlie and Polly were able to come out and help for the weekend. Bryce's aunt and uncle who also live in Dickinson came over for the day to pitch in as well. The plan was to get all 4 windows done, but none of us were sure if that was possible. The guys surprised us by getting all of them in by 230 on Saturday! That allowed for us to sit back and have a relaxing evening. Here's a peak into our weekend.
We turned the laundry room into a painting assembly line for the trim boards
I had to add a picture to prove that I did do something that weekend!
And here it is, 4 beautiful new windows!
Thank you Charlie, Polly, Monte, and Selma for all your help and for a great weekend!
The next project... (this is one that I can do!) Stay tuned to see the results.
