Dylan got our old bed and we found a free frame on fb yardsale.  win!

the vintage Ford theme is coming along

Red King sheets were out of stock so these used to be grey. Rit dye fail

running power and water to the pig barn

pouring concrete in the pig barn

triple bunk for our princesses - still

making plans for our future pool and deck - white is deck, grey is pool

stair progress - support walls had to go up before we could cut the hole

I HAVE A HOLE IN MY FLOOR!!!  

same excitement, different view

clearly, the stairs were a HUGE deal for our family

officially pig farmers - 22 feeders

another gel stain project.  well, the top anyway

1 coat of gel stain

2 coats of gel stain, plus sealer

still loving our bigger bed, still living with funky colored sheets. lol

ignore the beautiful birthday girl, focus on the shelving rack the kids and I installed for their toys and paraphernalia

insulating the stairs to keep the cold in the basement

I told Mark I would love an actual guardwall before we put our Christmas tree up and look what my amazingly talented guy did.  Pinterest inspiration.  Unfinished but far better than the sheets of plywood we had for 6 months. lol

view from the top

in doing the electrical element of the stairs, Mark and my dad discovered that this was the condition of our flexible ductwork and a partial cause for our poorly heating home.  age and mice.  yuck!

my guardrail and handrail, sanded and stained.  loving it even more!!

replaced a leaking sink with a fb yard sale find of a sink, faucet, and counter.  longer counter allowed us room to build a space for eventual much needed storage shelves for the kiddos.  someday.  like everything else...
