Growing Memories
They poured our patio today. The boys got a chance to put their handprints in one of the corners. On the first try John grabbed a big handful of wet concrete, so we had to trowel it over and do a second take. Fortunately the concrete was more firm, and John was half asleep at that point, so we got a pretty good print.
Gutters and downspouts were installed today!
Painting is complete! Dianna Bonifas did a fantastic job, and she was able to prime and paint the main floor, basement, and garage all in a matter of days. We hit Sherwin Williams’ 40% off sale a few weeks ago, so luckily we were able to save a bundle on paint. We ended up going with a lot of the same colors we had in our Kearney home:
The brick layer wrapped up today. We are really pleased with how the brick came out. The brick has a lot of character and the keystones above the windows and doors added a nice touch. We really struggled with picking a brick, mostly due to its cost and permanence, but it has turned out great. This was an expensive upgrade, but it fit in perfectly with our target of low maintenance and energy efficient.
Mudding is in full swing. Frank the Tank has completed his signature ceiling texture on the main floor and will be moving to the basement next.
