We had a great weekend!!! Heather and Kenna flew home for the weekend. Kenna has really grown. Charlie, Amy, & Abbye came home to see the house with Heather & Kenna and Cade & Kyla. They inspected the house Friday & Saturday. Saturday noon we meet at Leal's for Hollye's Muleshoe celebration. Sunday we left EARLY to go to church with Charlie, Amy and Abbye. Then to the Texas Road House for the Lubbock celebration. (Hollye's birthday is today). Then on to Amy & Charlie's for birthday cake and packages. Heather & Amy had the camera's so no pictures today. Happy Birthday Hollye! Love ya Great weekend

The house is progressing. The tile men should finish in a couple of days. The electricians have a little over a day left. The plumbers are scheduled to be here tomorrow(11-17). We will see how this week goes.

Appliances were delivered Wednesday. Things are getting closer.

The tilers started Monday. Below they are tiling the utility room.

The kitchen is tiled and ready for grout.

The painters finished painting.

Painter are VERY slow. The prep work took a lot of time.

After two painters and four weeks they finally got far enough along for the tile men to start.

The paint contrast is show below.

Catch up

I'm trying to catch up.

The first of October Abbye's cow "Glory" calved. This bull calf is one day old. Mother and son are doing well.

New House

The sprinkler system is installed and next we planted grass.

Hydro mulch was used to carry the seed.

The grass took about ten days to come up.

Now the inside of the house.

The painters have been here for three weeks.

This has been a very slow process.

Drawers were primed, sanded, and waiting to be painted.

The kitchen cabinets have been stained.

It is hard to see with plastic covering everthing.

Trim has been painted.

Taping, filling holes, sanding, priming and painting. Slow! Slow! Slow!

Cabinets

The cabinets arrived last week. The delivery guys unloaded the cabinets in the middle of the floor. The next crew came and started mounting them. The finish carpenters added the trim and another group will add doors and draw fronts.
