All Work and No Play...

Well, the big work weekend is over and we are forever indebted to my dad for his help around the house. I could not have imagined we could accomplish this much in 2 days. Seriously, we would have had to pay thousands of dollars if we had hired people to do all this stuff. I tried to keep a running list of the projects we tackled (ok, he did most of it, but we tried to help as much as we could.) Here are the things I can think of right now... this list may grow as I remember other things.... it's kind of a blur.

So it wasn't 100% all work and no play... We also had time to stop by the Vintage Grand Prix for a couple of hours. We managed to fit in a Primanti Sandwich as well. So it was about 98% work and 2% play :) Thanks Dad!!
