Getting All Worked Up

This is Pearce's reaction to all the weather hub-bub. Passed out in the basement is the same thing as passed out in his room. Of course if you look you will notice there is no room for anyone else in the QUEEN sized bed.

Lots of Water Falling From the Sky

We so love the new house. Awesome underground finished bedroom and toilet. We're here trying to keep Claire from waking Pman.

Mowing With Daddy

We did a little late afternoon mowing on the new project mower. Pearce was even helping steer. I finished up on my own after dark. It has real lights and everything.

The Otherside

Daddy Drives a John Deere

Well, I went to borrow a trailer from Rance and this JD LT170 was on the trailer. He said he was just going to toss out the body. Someone was going to give him $50 for the engine if he'd pull it. Rance offered the whole thing to me for $50 if I'd haul it off.
Let me think. It's a John Deere, it runs, it'll pull an aerator, it's an old John Deere, it'll haul yard trash, and it will pull a spreader. $50 will go to Rance at some point in the near future.
Small reality check. There is some cosmetic work to be done and a transmission job that will need to be done soon.
More details this weekend.

Having fun around the new house.

Quality Time

Claire wanted some veggies so we sat at (or on) the counter. If you look closely at the TV you will understand why Claire's a little 'xasperated. She couldn't see the TV.

Parting Shot

We are completely moved. We have a lot of settling in to do. No, I did not take the camelia with me like I said I would.

Day 5 and the Power Tools Come Out

'bout to break out the power tools to replace a couple of shelves and make a decent back for a book shelf.

Me and My Papaz

Mom and Dad came up today to see the new place. Yeah, they came to see the little ones. Claire's just as comfortable as can be with her Papaz.

Moving On Up...

The day is here. We are moving and this time we're paying somebody else to do the heavy lifting. I love it. I don't even have to take anything apart, or the best part, put it back together.

Painting, Painting

We started painting yesterday. This is Pman's room and that is wet Woodsmoke with an eggshell finish. We got Pearce's room finished and Claire's needs another coat. Ours has been prepped with Kilz but we still have to do the whole thing.
