The Project : Day 96

August rolled around and brought with it more work. It was time to start painting. As much as I enjoy painting - and I do - there was no way I was going to manage the entire addition on my own. So I decided to call in some reinforcements. They came in the form of Nick's mom, my mom, my cousin Scott and his girlfriend/my friend, Leslie. It was a loonngg day - but we knocked out the entire addition.
I love my friends and family!
 
Leslie
 (she really wasn't pleased when I got out the camera. Neither were Nancy and my mom, but they managed to avoid me. Leslie, however, was a better sport!)
 Scott
Want to hear something funny?
 Half way through the day, I learned that Scott volunteered his services because he thought I helped him paint the law office he opened a couple years ago. Imagine his reaction when I informed him that it wasn't me. My mom and brother had helped him - but Connor a newborn at the time so I hadn't. Tee hee.
 Nick was the only brave enough to do the painting that required ladder.
 While the adults worked inside, the kids played outside. Treyvin kept himself busy by building a wall out of bricks we had lying around. A future contractor perhaps?
 Taylie was introduced to the joys of spending hours upon hours in the dirt. She was a (dirty) happy girl!
 A tired boy.

I lost count of the days....

I got so behind in downloading pictures off my camera this summer, that I have no idea when, exactly, I took these so I couldn't continue my daily countdown in progress reports.
In any event, here is the next installment of pictures on our addition/remodel project.
 


Master bedroom. Love those french doors!

I've always wanted to relax in an old fashioned, claw foot tub full of bubbles.
Soon, someday soon, I'll get to cross that off my list.


 Upstairs hall
 Connor's room!
 Second bedroom. Wonder what we could put in here??

Cornhuskers

 
It's impossible to grow up in western Nebraska without spending some time husking corn for dinner in the evenings.
This year, Connor got to help.
 




 
Yeah, he's going to fit in well!
