Weekend projects

Sam is checking the structural integrity of the cupboard before the project begins...

You want this one here, right (Dad was in the garage at this point...)
You wanted both of these here...I saw Dad's blueprints...
Making the men of the family proud with his Plumber's Butt
Did you measure twice, cut once Dad?

Dad's all pooped from painting- Hunter too!

Inga's worn out too

You guessed it, Sam's tuckered out too

Auntie Mara, didn't I used to fit in here? It must have shrunk!!!

We had a couple of big (for us) weekend projects: Sam and Scott made a built in garbage drawer/cupboard in the kitchen to help save space- still getting used to where the garbage is though! We had gotten tired of shooing the dog and the little monster out of the garbage- they were working in cahoots (is that really a word?) together to get into the garbage.

Also the grandparents Aho came over and helped us paint the living room and hall- a much needed project, as Daddy was very tired of the baby-blue living room. Trouble is now we want new blinds and a new front door...all in good time...they are still quite functional, so it's hard to justify! Thanks again to Roger and Diane for their painting prowess! We have plenty of rooms left if anyone else wants to prove to us how good they are at painting- though we'd be glad to hire Roger and Diane back next time we get the itch to paint!

Your living room looks great! Love the shots of Sam helping Da with the kitchen projects!
Good job people!
