projects schmojects

25 May 2008

Holy projects, Batman! My husband has had the past 2 1/2 weeks off of school and we have been trying to tackle projects outside and around the house. Some of his buddies also had a fence and a floor to install, so they went from house to house helping each other. Here they are working on our fence!

getting a little tired of working together...


Faustin and Jacob shoveling the concrete for the posts. I think they really want a tornado to come, because they are just sure that the house may go, but that fence is not going anywhere.
Some other ones that we're finishing up~I'll post pictures as we complete them. I think he will be glad to get back to school on Tuesday to escape the projects! I kind of get tired even typing it~we'll be so glad when they're done! We're trying to get them finished so we can enjoy summer~the first day of summer and my oldest daughter's baptism is June 21 and , so that's our goal! We have also done our part to stimulate the economy with our rebate check :)

  4. Way to go - you guys are going to have the nicest looking house in Texas! :) I want to come see everything so bad!! No luck on any $50 plane tickets?? Good job on everything, though, and way to go Hyrum. How nice it is to have a husband who knows how to do all of that stuff.
