LEAVING MANITOBA ON A BRIGHT SUNDAY MORNING.
ENTERING DULUTH
NOT TOO MANY COLOURS ON DAY ONE
BUT SOME VERY INTERESTING CLOUD FORMATIONS
JUST A FEW TREES SHOWING COLOUR
GORGEOUS LAKES ALONG THE WAY - SMALL & LARGE
ARRIVED ON TUESDAY AND GOT READY FOR WORK
UNPACKING TOOL KIT!!
A SHORT SIT DOWN BEFORE TACKLING THE
LONG LIST OF JOBS!!!
FRIDGE DOOR OPENED THE WRONG WAY
IN OUR OPINION SO THE DECISION WAS MADE
TO CHANGE THE SWING.
A GOOD PLAN AS I OPENED THAT DOOR SO MANY TIMES!!!
PRIMING AND PAINTING THE DECK
INSTALLING SHADES WE FOUND AT A GREAT PRICE.
CHRIS HAD LOOKED AT THEM EARLIER BUT THE
EXPENSE WAS A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
AT 70% OFF, WE COULD NOT RESIST.
AN ANNUAL RITUAL IS WORKING ON CHRIS'S CAR
AMAZING HOW IT HAS LASTED - IT MAY HAVE MORE
BODY FILLER THAN ANYTHING.
RON WORKED ON CLEANING THE RIMS OF THE
WINTER TIRES IN HIS "SPARE TIME"
TRYING TO STURDY THE UPSTAIRS FLOOR BY
PUTTING SUPPORTS BETWEEN THE FLOOR JOISTS.
THEN IT WAS AGREED UPON THAT THE LAUNDRY
ROOM COULD ACCOMODATE A BATHROOM
THAT BECAME THE BIG PROJECT WHICH ADDED
A WEEK TO OUR STAY.
PAINTING THE UPSTAIRS HALLWAY, 2 BEDROOMS
AND BATHROOM.
THE MASTER BEDROOM HAD BEEN PAINTED BEFORE
CHRIS MOVED IN AS HAD THE MAIN FLOOR.
A BIG JOB FINISHED IN 2 DAYS
UPSTAIRS BATHROOM HAD A FEW PROJECTS
WHICH TURNED INTO A FEW MORE AND THEN
ANOTHER FEW
THE VANITY NEEDED TO BE MOVED FORWARD
A NEW FAUCET INSTALLED
THE FLOOR REPLACED
THE ENTIRE BATHROOM PAINTED 3 TIMES TO
COVER UP THE LIME GREEN - SHOULD HAVE A BEFORE PICTURE!!!
THERE IS A LITTLE SHOWING AT THE BASE BOARD LEVEL
THE TUB SURROUND TILES RECAULKED
A NICE CHANGE
ANOTHER BIG PROJECT WAS THE GARAGE
FIRST THING WAS TO CLEAN IT OUT AND
MOVE A LOT INTO THE SHED
THEN A NEW DOOR INSTALLED FROM THE MAIN LEVEL
INTO THE GARAGE
A FRESH COAT OF FLOOR PAINT APPLIED
NEW DRYWALL, TAPED, MUDDED AND PAINTED,
SHELVES REPOSITIONED
MORE HOUSE PROJECTS TO COME
MEAN WHILE A LITTLE YARD WORK
SCRAPING VINES OFF THE BRICK WORK
PLANTING SOME GRASSES
MOWING THE LAWN ONE FINAL TIME?
DIGGING UP THE GARDEN AREA - READY FOR SPRING.
LORI LIKES TO PLANT AND IS LOOKING FORWARD
TO ENJOYING FRESH VEGETABLES.
