Recent stuff and things

I feel like I am just coming out of my hibernation. It has been a dark wintry couple of months and we have a fair amount of progress to show.

John took on the plumbing and wiring for the remodel. He had long planned to do the wiring and the plumbing was largely because we had trouble finding a plumber who wanted to work on our job. 

The laundry room has new machines and a new water heater.

Playing in the shop when the weather is wet/cold/dark outside.

Odin turned 12!

 Work on the treehouse is wrapping up! It now has windows and a door. Odin wanted a Dutch style door and thanks to my visiting uncle Darryl, he got it. The boys had a blast and cranked the door out in a day!

 Our kitchen has gotten a lighting upgrade. We used it as a test to see what spacing we wanted for lights in the rest of the remodel.

 

 This is the "before" kitchen lighting. It is also "before" the cabinet doors were put back on.

We installed drywall in the laundry room ceiling. Since the summer part of the ceiling has been plastic sheeting.

 Exterior lighting also got an upgrade. We purchased the lights over the summer and John mounted and wired them up. It is nice to have exterior lighting during the dark months.

And lastly, Odin joined the archery team at the school that he will attend in the fall! For his birthday we gave him the bow that the team uses and he started with the team in January!

The team practices in the gym weekly and every other week in the schools cafeteria.
