    The past 3 years been projects after projects.Last year some siding and paint.6 new windows year before.This year Put new floor in this room-not easy task. Put new sub-floor. Had to use air nailer-native lumber.So hard could not screw the ply wood in to it. Had 3 trees taken down. One was too big-other too close to house and power line. But got walnut tree -lightning hit it. Will take that down. Burned wood for 40 years. And Dh built flood wall. If we do have flash flood direct water away from house. And tore down privacy fence. It mostly to keep winter winds away. But it's good to have family that helps-like the roof.And Baby Sis and BIL are 20 years younger then us-we're 65.

    Koszta kid, Sounds like a great menu! If I was closer I would come help just for the food.

    Glad you have family to come help.

    You've been busy! Sounds like a great dinner. Your house color looks much like our new color.

    The color of your house is very decent and elegant. And the menu seems quite delicious, you can add a bit of salad options too.

    this was 2 years ago. Bil and Sis doing the roofing. Us feeding shingles from back side. When Dh and his 2 friends did this many years ago. Had to tear off 3 layers. I got to pick up and throw into dumpster.
