backyard

Well...i know it's been almost forever since I've had some time to blog anything, but here's an update. we've packed out garage with building supplies and we're putting together a deck over the next month or so, starting tomorrow with Jay's help (the best brother-in-law known to man or woman:)But, before we could put that deck together, we had some work to do...A sliding door was installed and that's easy to say, but not so easy to do, but my handyman, and mind-blowingly fantastically crafty fiance did it! He figured it out and just did it - he made it look easy! and with Jay's help, again, or course. They say, "If they don't find you handsome, they better find you handy" and these two have it both:)So, after one long Saturday a couple of weeks ago, the wall was down and a beautiful new door was put in it's place and man does it do a job on our house. The light that comes through is amazing - plants may actually live in our dinningroom now. And Miah loves it cause until we finish the inside, which won't be for a while, she gets the run of the room - best play area in the house. Now i know why people need basements when they have kids (not enough room for toys and staorage in the rest of the house).Now, for the past two nights, Ty and I have worked until way after dark, and luckily had Nana and Grampa close-by to mind Miah, cause we completely sided the outside of our laundryroom and what a difference it's made. We finally finished last night going onto 11 p.m. and had some dinner and collasped into bed - tired, but totally proud of ourselves.And tomorrow the postes will be dug and the deck begins...
