Brothers Building A Fence

 We have had a few fence pieces fall down. I love watching the boys fix the fence. They do almost everything together. Pickle is teaching Jumba, always. It is so cool to watch!

Garage Space is Transformed for Working Out

I had to share this one. I guess we can see what is important to this family.

A Little More To Do, Including a New Back Door

Pictures to put the house back on the market are scheduled for later this week.  Everything has to be done so that the house looks beautiful in pictures.  This meant a few runs to the hardware store.  I looked back at the house as I was leaving to see Pickle showing me his muscles.  I am not at all sure why but I have learned that 17 year old boys will poise like this often.

We were told that the replacing the back door could add the spark that is needed tp make our house stand out from the others.  We didn't want to spend a fortune and wait for a carpenter to help us so we tried it ourselves.  This was not as easy as I thought it would be. 

We also spent time painting furniture.

When we could not get the door stable I sent out the alert to the homeschool group.  As always someone in the group came to the rescue.  I am really going to miss the families in Bread of Life, if we ever sell.

Mr. A and his kiddos came over and the one extra (experienced) man and his tools helped J and Pickle get the job done and done well.

It really was a win - win because while they were here I got to sit and play with the younger kiddos. We chalked and then watched a movie.

Jason and I were most thankful that Mr A brought a fresh perspective to everything.  He walked in and said we need to pray.  St. Joesph will help we just need to ask.  What a great reminder it was.  We had become so overwhelmed with getting everything done that we forgot why we were working so hard at life.  We were all praying separately but not together and not for the this specific purpose.  

We had to touch everything up.  So much work.  I could find the Roku remote when we finally settled for the night.  Man I must be getting tired.

All that work is really paying off.  It will look great for pictures!

More Work to Re-list House for Sale

Everything is getting a facelift.  We are all so very tired.

More Painting

Twin Beautiful loves the bathroom color.

I think she approves.

We can only hope that it helps bring a future buyer very soon. 

Improving House to Encourage a Sale

We have so many walls to paint.  

 Late night painting and "thank you for your hard work" treats.

Then even more painting . . .

We even got epoxy and covered the top of the washer and dryer.  These were all rusted out and looked horrible.  I was shocked that a $3 can of white epoxy paint could make these old machines look new.
