Things i have been doing

Well this past two weeks my daughter and i have been working in the front yard getting it ready for planting spring flowers. She raked the leaves and piled them up to burn and cleaned off the porch and took down the wood siding that Bob put up just be for winter to keep the wind off the living room windows and it made it much warmer in here this past winter. I planted some ivy in that old wood stove i put in the yard two years ago. I hope the ivy fills it and covers most of the wood stove. I may be getting a hot tub and if i get it ill put it in the back yard and get Bob to build a back deck to support it. I may all so be getting a 4 wheeler if i do ill use that to go and check the mail which will save on gas in the van. I will be getting a new stove in about a week or two well not new its used but new to me and its one of them glass top stoves and flat easy to clean i hope. I gave my pool to Bob and his family and took it over there this week to clean out my shed in the back yard so we could us that for storage and get some of that stuff out of my back room may be i can find some of my stuff that has been missing that my daughter stuck back there. Other then that not much has changed around here. I can't wait to start planting my flowers and have some color out side. I did get a Lilac bush and i am supposed to be getting some other bushes and trees for the yard some time soon. I do have some Wisterea bush i planted two years ago when i planted my pussy willows but they have been struggling as well as my purple ash tree. I just hope they grow a little more this year. But none of them has budded as yet this year i hope they do soon. Oh and i let my corgie Zuse go and i all so had to get read of my other dog Ditie but i keeped the Minpin that Bob gave me and no one is going to let me give him up.

My Plants Pussy Willows Bloomed

Well i was worried when i planted the pussy willows that they may not bloom. But this is the third year and they finally bloomed for me. There not big plants yet but there getting there. I have liked this plant when i was growing up in Vermont i use to pick them and put them in a vase at my grandmothers when i stayed there. I took these Photos but only one plant has any blooms on it that you can see. The others are kind of small but took photos any how.

Still Working on the House

Well we have not yet quite finished the Kitchen we still need to paint the wall where we put the new sheet rock and my sink drain pipe is still leaking just a bit not much i need to figure out what i can do to stop that be for it messes up the new counter. The living room is half painted and need to finish that as well. All the new linoleum is down in the living room and kitchen and hall way. But we still have my daughters bathroom and my bathroom to do as yet. That is another project after we finish the kitchen and the painting in the living room.
Other then that its looking pretty nice in here. I will say this much its been hard work and i was not able to help much. My daughter did most of the work my son helped some with the kitchen floor and him and i put down the linoleum. My Daughter did not want to have the kids around the adhesive for the flooring so she took them to her room and closed the door it is harmful to breath and if you get it on you so my son and i did that part. All i did was helped him by smoothing out the linoleum because i could not get down on the floor that close to help put the glue down on the floor.
But with all three of us doing some of it helped. My daughter knocked out all the cabinets and most of the flooring with the sledge hammer and with a claw hammer. My son did do some of the floor with the sledge hammer but not as much as she did. We still need more counter's and i think we are going to get that with our next check i hope so we can get this done soon. We need at least three more counters to make it look nice in there and have enough cabinets to put stuff in we are not going to have any over head cabinets because i can't use them any how i can't reach up that high i am to short lol.

OK well this is the first time in 4 years i have lost my internet but guess what i will be losing it in a day or so i have all ready lost my phone so i think i will lose it may be by tomorrow or soon after that. I have a fiend sending me the money to help get me back on line for my college so hope to be back on line soon,. take care till then and have fun.

Floor done

Well today we finally got the new linoleum down and my daughter did not want to help with that part because of the glue it had warnings on it about getting it on you our smelling it so she took the kids to her room and my son and i did the gluing it down. That was fun let me tell ya. here are the photos of my new kitchen floor. I think it looks really nice. Now all we have to do is put up the sheet rock and paint it and then install the new sink and sink cabinet that will be run because we still have a problem with the water line to the sink is still not fixed as yet and still leeks a little not as much as it did but still it will mess up the new sink base if we don't get it fixed. So next on the agenda is getting up sheet rock and then painting it first. Will post when i get the next step done. well i had a photo of the finished floor but it did not come out to well ill have to take another one and see if it comes out better and post it later.

Remodleing My Kitchen

Well i guess this winter has not been that boring not for me any how. This month my daughter decided that it was time for me to redo my kitchen and move some things around and replace my floor and sheet rock little did she know how hard that was till she got started. Well here it is two weeks later and we got the floor tore out yesterday and the old sheet rock now i have bear studs for a kitchen wall and a big hole in my floor but we got the ply wood and the new sheet rock to put up but first we have to fix the drain pip that goes to the sewer from the kitchen sink because we broke it off moving the kitchen counter. We are going to move my stove over to the other side of the kitchen because it was on the north side of the house and when you stood there and cooked it was cold so we need to get more wire for that. Now we will plum the kitchen sink after we get the floor fixed and put up new sheet rock.
After we get all this done then we are going to pain the new walls. Oh ya and while we are replacing the floors in the kitchen we are going to patch some week places in the living room so that we won't have to do the same thing to the living room we had to do in the kitchen. Then after all this is done we are going to lay down new linoleum and its a pretty color.
Here are some photos of what the kitchen looked like. I will post photos when we are done. Oh and did i mention that my son can't cut a strait line.
