Remodeling






Well the remodel is still progressing and the tear out is pretty much done. Terri has been helping allot in a bunch of different ways. She has been like my 3rd arm and even the feet have come in handy. Her encouragement keeps me going and even when I over do it she helps me recover.

Yesterday ( Saturday) she called Kevin and he came to help which I just loved. I usually want his family to come with him, but that would have stopped us. I love it when I can work with my sons Paul and Kevin and yes even with Christy. their talents have saved me and I guess I still like teaching them a few things.

Well Kevin helped me get 2/3 of the floor laid and so now I have a 10'x 10'

section left and the trim. The floor was slow at getting started till I got a process going (direction are not always correct) as the directions said the pieces just snap together. Kevin got here right after I figured a good process and that helped us move along. We had walls that were not straight and some tricky cuts at the end that Kevin with good eyes and hands did.

I am so sore today Sunday from the 60 mile ride early yesterday then on my knees/ feet most of the day yesterday. Starting the floor about noon and finishing about 9:00. the pictures don't tell the whole story but twinkle toes helped alot early on.
