I am a huge slacker lately when it comes to blogging, family websites, facebook, e mail, etc. We have been crazy busy working on the house. Jessie and I made a trip to Utah in June, and a surprise trip to Pennsylvania because grandma was sick, and then back to Utah for another week. It was a ton of fun and I have lots of pictures to post, but first, I promised to post updated pictures of our house and all the progress. Unfortunately the pictures are already outdated, but they show progress. I need to take some more pictures of all the awesome painting we have been doing the last few days. Anyway, Phil is on Oahu for work, so I should have a little extra time to do some blogging.
I helped Phil mud and tape the drywall. It was fun to learn, but I am so glad that it is finished. I do not want to do it again for a very long time. During the process, there were buckets of "junk" mud. Jessie found one and had a blast playing with it. She started with just her fingers, then her whole hands, and then...well the pictures speak for themselves.
She was having so much fun, and the mud is harmless to her and her clothes, so we just let her play. She was not happy to be hosed off before getting in the car though. :)
All the drywall is hung, but this is before we started mudding and taping.....ahhhh so much work! I have so much more respect for those who do this for a living.
The outside is completely painted.
WE even have a little bit of a lawn! We enjoy sitting on the lawn while eating lunch. :)
