Grime-time
Chip helps put together a vanity for the basement bathroom. We used some leftover timbers for the vanity top and iron pipe for the base.
Swingset at sunset
A cedar daybed I made for Dana for her birthday. When there are so many pieces of wood lying around and tools and saws of every kind all over the place, it’s easy to build and hide a birthday present in plain sight.
One man’s trash…
An eroded ravine + scraps = A sweet fort.
Farm boy
Chip helps with the fencing on the chicken coop. Because nothing beats building a chicken coop when you’re trying to finish a house.
Exploring
Just before sunset the boys and I stopped at the end of a local road to do some exploring. Pretty neat to find this little ravine so close to our new home.
Dig-her
Milly burying some treasure for her brothers to find (a root beer can, she drank the root beer first).
Tract-her
Dana moving a pile of lumber with the tractor.
First BBQ!
Mike and Ben stand on deck while I lift the BBQ up to the top in the backhoe bucket.
A real pinterest board
I took a break from other projects to build a pin board for the dining room for the kids’ art and school projects. Paint colour for this and all trim in the house is West Highland White by Sherwin Williams.
Working hard or hardly working
Milly helps Chip bolt together some deck beams, while NEVER ONCE COMPLAINING. Actually she really did enjoy it and did a great job.
