Pond Pictures

Another year in the house. Dave's pond is looking more beautiful everyday. We have so much vegetation- in and around the pond. It's been a very rainy spring, so we've been lucky- the plants love it! Here are a few shots of our best backyard feature.

Early '09 Projects

Happy New Year! Hey, it's still January, I am with in my 'happy new year' greeting time frame, aren't I?

So we've take on two big house projects at the same time again. We can't help ourselves. But everything is turning out GREAT. We've installed a beautiful fireplace and Dave is building bookshelves. They're amazing. Here are some early progress pictures:

Bookshelf framing





















And our NEXT big project, a carport/garage. We'll install an electric garage door, so no more getting in and out of the car to pull into our spot- very helpful in the winter time!
