Work, Work, Work!

I have been sooooo busy trying to finish some projects around here so I can show you the finished product, but I just can't seem to move fast enough! The remodeling is done, with the exception of the few projects we have left to complete ourselves...and true to my HOADD (home-owner's attention deficit disorder) I can't finish one project without moving on to another.

Which means I have a ton of projects I can't show you yet.

We've been installing fencing since Saturday. After much digging on The Husbands' part (Thelma's hubby helped out), they realized they'd measured once and dug. If you own a home or have ever watched a remodeling show, you may have heard the phrase "measure twice and cut once." Unfortunately, that meant The Husband has had to re-dig the holes every night after work.

Guess who's been cooking dinner?

Yesterday I got smart and cooked some ribs in the crock pot so I could help set the posts and take some pictures, since I figured you've been missing me. :)

Here's The Husband hanging the gate, which was the whole reason I picked this particular fence. They had lots of black fencing with boring gates, but ours had to be rounded at the top.


A shot of the old fence behind the new. The old fence was an eyesore, but I would've lived with it for a while longer if we hadn't had to cut it open to install the fireplace insert.


A peek through the hole in the old chain link.


What could be better for a 5 year-old than a pile of dirt for his trucks?
