Life...One Day @ a Time...

This was the beginning of a terrible messy job of remodeling our kitchen. Norv and John Schlabach did the work of ripping off the ceiling and putting a new one on, insulating the new part (Samantha did that, crawling around up there) and then installing new cabinets. But before that could be done , they had to move the window, put drywall mud on the walls to cover up and blend together all the different wall coverings, rip out old cupboards, move the water lines for the dishwasher and new sink.... and this was all done in 5 days! This was open to the outside for a few days, so we stayed at Norv's folks while this was being done... see the original trailer roof shape? Here is the finished product! I got my curtains hung and the only thing missing is the microwave hood that may never be! I'd like to actually put a shelf in it's place. Looking toward the living room from the island...I love my shelf that just happened to appear after the ceiling got ripped off, the end ...

Oh my bones...my arms...I am so out of shape ! We worked outside tonite,Norv had the skid steer here,so he leveled dirt in the yard where a huge tree got chopped off last fall when we logged the pasture. I had him dump some goodies from the horse pen there and started a new flower bed and transplanted plants to it. We have had so very little really nice weather this year , and it was chilly out with the wind blowing, the sun was out and it was a beautiful evening ! We had a skiff of snow yesterday morning and the mountains got a fresh covering on em. I haven't even attempted to do anything in the garden,tho' I've been nagging at Norv to get the greenhouse up ! We started some plants inside and I've got some raspberry plants to get in the ground. My deer fence needs a lot of help, either the deer ripped it or the snow and wind did it, it needs fixing! We are finally done with our kitchen project...I'm loving it ! Norv just got the lights hooked up last night s...
