60th Birthday

Bruce had his 50 plus ten birthday, 6 decades, or 3 score birthday on Saturday. We had church family over for cake. He put up pictures in our bedroom, He has been sheet rocking and painting. It is looking good. Kevin rogers came over and helped him rewire the electrical as some of the out lets did not have boxes for the plug ins. scary

Redoing the Bedroom

Bruce has slowly been remodeling the house. He is working on the bedroom. He & Duncan removed the popcorn ceiling & the thin paneling covering the walls. Of course we found 1 x 12's. Bruce is putting up sheet rock & insulating the outside wall.

I love the circle swirls on the ceiling.

New Look in the Kitchen

We (meaning Bruce) are painting the walls in the kitchen!

We thought he should change the thin paneling above the cupboard and put up sheet rock.

I think we should leave it open, now that I look at it.

We can only do part as the other side is the cold air return for the furnace.

I think it would open up the room more, but I don't want to dust the stuff on top...

What do you think?

the Agony and the Ecstasy

We (meaning Bruce) and me supervising, painted the ceiling. It is white and will match the trim. Oh Happy Day! Leonardo Da Vinci watch out!

NEW FURNACE! Ta Daa!

Our old furnace died & we now have a new furnace! The old one was 40 years old & we could have replaced the motor for $200. We opted to update the heating system & save on our monthly gas bill. The house does seem to heat up faster. It has a digital power thermostat too. Are we new age or what?

One of the pipes had holes in it where it had rusted through. That may have been the cause of my headaches!

T & T were the company we used. They responded in a timely manner, were very knowledgeable and not too expensive! (Albeit one of the T's is going on a Caribbean cruise with his wife this week.) We will replace the water heater after the two weddings this spring & summer...
