Weekend Update...

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th! We had a very busy weekend with lots of projects to undertake. Here's how it went down...

-On Friday we had the assistance of Marty, Judy and Julie who were amazing and helped us knock out our entire Friday 'to do' list, which included: Painting the studio, painting the laundry room, putting together the new grill, installing a gate to keep Bear out of the basement, trimming the hedges, meeting with the furnace guy, chopping up a downed limb and vaccuming the basement with the shop vac. Amongst all this, there was still time for a good old fashioned 4th of July BBQ (using the new grill of course) and fireworks downtown at night. What a day!!

-On Saturday we had a visit from Mr. Gutter Helmet. We have decided to have them installed and they will be coming in 45-60 days to do that project. It's a big expense but our gutters are in bad shape because of all the trees so we feel it is worthwhile. Later in the day the duct cleaners came by to give us a quote, but I thought it was outrageous so it will have to wait. We can breathe dust for a while, right?

-The rest of Saturday and all of Sunday involved more trips to Lowe's and various unpacking projects. We did manage to get the desktop PC set up in the office, although after 4 hours of trying to get the network to connect, I gave up at 12:30 and went to bed. I'll try to tackle that again tonight. I'll try to post some pictures tonight of the progress we made over the weekend.
