Go Green!



No, this is not a post about saving the planet. After all, the planet is a ROCK and rocks don't need saving last time I checked. This is a post about getting some sod!

I'll begin with the Thank You's!

Gary, Jeff, and Rich and his kids for their time, ideas and muscle!

Andy from Nature Scapes Landscaping Inc. for his time, advice and help with the sod costs.

I continue to be amazed at what can be done with a few extra helpers, regardless of their age. What fun to see it go from dirt to grass in a few short hours.

We have been really blessed throughout this project with the right people, donations and materials at the right time.

Paint, and there was light!



We needed to spruce up the color scheme a little - off white is a tad boring. So we enlisted the help of Barb S. and Gaston K. and finished the two big rooms in one day! Thanks so much for your help. It's very nice to look at now.


Ever been in the dark? I mean the real deep dark where you can't see your hand in front of your face. I have. One time in a cave. That is a strange experience. Well, it's never been quite that dark in our addition, and now it never needs to be dark again - unless you want to get some sleep.

We have lights thanks to Grounded Electric. Need a good electrician? Give 'em a call at 763-753-6215.

Here's a small sample of their handy work.
