Meet after...

Billy has been working like a madman around this house!!! This is a picture of him at 3:00 pm, he'd been out there for hours already. So I just wanted to show off some of his hard work! He organized our shed. (My dad would be so proud! You never messed with my dads tools, each tool had a nail to hang on or a bin. Each bin was labeled with one of those old school label makers, where you would turn the dial then punch the letter... it took like 2 hours to type one word. Our garage, his shop in Mentone and the company trucks were all like that. So he always knew when someone had been messing with his stuff.)
(No worries Bill, we're not keeping the wheel barrow)


And the biggest thing for me is my new laundry room!!! (Sorry about the huge waterslide, I have to hide it from Marley) Before when I had to enter it, the door opened the wrong way and was stopped by the big sink in here, so I had to sit on the sink or washer, shut the door then hop down... reverse that process to get out. Then the cords were too short when we had the washer and dryer installed so they were on the wrong wall. It was just a nightmare and made the awful chore of doing laundry a million times worse.
I had thought this would have been a cheap and easy task... I was wrong. It turned out to be very expensive and took two days, but when he called me to come out and see what he'd done, I cried! Literally tears poured out of my eyes. I can walk right in the room (he reversed the door so it opens the right way) had the washer and dryer where they were supposed to be, he built a little work table so I can fold laundry out there (its a little cubby built off of our porch... its weird but it works now!!!) and we can use the shelves above to actually store stuff now.... AMAZING!!!




And this hallway had movies stacked from the floor to the light switches all the way across (yes, that is a ton of movies) and he put them in our old cd cases and is now working on a new movie log.



Oh! And he just finished moving our water barrells and filled them up... not bad, 5 years later!
