The Visitor


==========================>
New Mailbox!

Gary, the carpenter was working alone in the bathroom when he sensed a presence in the adjacent room...he turned to view this fearsome creature staring back at him from the shadows...a dog...a very large dog and one that did not bark! Just as suddenly as he came, the dog turned and ran off...but we found him later in the day. Right now, he's living on our deck until we can find his owner!
Things still progress slowly at the old house...

The subfloor is finished in the kitchen, pantry and dining room, finally... but then we decided to gut the rest of the kitchen as there was no insulation, nor wiring. Joyce is thinking about vinyl flooring, faux stone, with some copper and earth tones.

In the bathroom, we are installing the new bath tub, purchased on Craig's List. Going to be a tight fit for the toilet!

A September move sure doesn't look promising though!

Outside, we've planted some flowers.........................................................................

We tried to approximate the two landscape features of our next door neighbors which gives the illusion of a grand entrance...the lower photo is on the right of the house and has a Japanese maple we bought at a garage sale...doesn't show up too well in the photo, with some ornamental grass and a solar light.

Hope to have the first floor done before we move in and then we'll work on the second...have quite a pile of junk in the backyard, could use a dumpster!

More next time...thanks for reading! Deano
