I don't know what I have done but I cant put up any pictures on my blog. The pictures download to coral snapfire, not picasa, and I can't blog from coral snapfire. The house has been p[ainted. It is gray with white trim. I really like it. Jen.... I bought the red paint for the door.(gasp) It's really red, but the guy said it will dry darker. The guy who put in the gas line did it wrong. He put it on the wrong side of the meter. We are trying to get him back here to fix it but he hasn't showed up yet, and you know what? It's getting damn cold .... Russ..... please call and help me fix the picas problem so I can send more pictures. OK? Love you guys!

This is the color of the kitchen . living room, and pantry. What do you think?


WE (OR RATHER ) Machelle and Kendly got the tile up in the kitchen. Machelle then got up most of the backerboard. That woman is a keg of dynamite.

This is what the pantry looks like, He's got the shelves in and the first coat of paint.. You' right Jen . It is alot darker when all the walls are painted. It's really blue.

we are going to have to get another heater. Our old one would not convert to natural gas. It was to old to get parts for. Like everything else around here. I wish I could get a few new parts.

Just a look at the mess we are living in

The living room looking thru to the family room


We have moved the table into the family room to get it out of the way

This is the entry to the pantry.
This is the addition with our refridgerator and freezer
This is the living room. Doesn't it look different with the wood paneling gone? I like it. Dad is not so sure.
This is the other side of the living room/Hallway.

There is still just a little bit of siding to be finished. They ran a new gas line. I'm no longer using butane, I 'm going to be hooked up to natural gas. Next will be the drywall. Aaron was waiting on the gasline. Anytime the do anything, I'm encouraged again. I'VE ORDERED THE LAMINATE FOR THE FLOORS. I've finally convinced Dad that we need to remove the wood paneling in the living room. He was dead set against it. I told him it was dated...I want to hide the big black cord for the heater... and I don't think there is any insulation in the front wall, so... hopefully they can correct all that stuff. I love you all so much. Let me hear from you.
