Working on the Boys Room

With the new service and new, larger panel nearly completed, we are able to proceed with more wiring throughout the house.

The boys' room wiring is now done, so we can focus on the cosmetics: a newly painted BLUE ceiling (they want it to look like the sky for their superhero decals), new sheetrock and paint in the closet.

Girls Rooms Update

The girls' rooms are nearing completion, with most of the painting and the closets finished. We still have to paint the floors, and install trimwork throughout, but we're definitely showing progress.

New Electric Service Upgrade

Wow. It's been so crazy around here. Through the generosity of Handy Husband's employer, we were able to get our new 400 amp service put in, complete with new, underground wiring to the house. Now we're just waiting on the electric company to come out and switch their part of it.

We've had some issues with our lines lately, causing outages, and when the electric company came out to fix it, they were quite shocked and concerned with the poor condition of our old line going into the house. It will be such a relief to have some peace of mind once this new service is completed.

Hay Barn Roof Repair

Handy Husband spent the entire weekend reinforcing and patching the section of roof that was ripped off in a tornado about 3 years ago. The hole kept getting bigger and bigger every time we'd get any strong winds.

Trimming Limbs

Handy Husband trimmed back some tree limbs that were hanging over the house and some that were broken and just hanging from the trees.

Wow! 4 months already! Baby W is weighing in at 19.5 pounds, and is 27 inches long. He loves to sit up, stand up, and has recently discovered how amazing and fun his toes are. He is still a very happy, sweet little guy.
