My Favorite Handyman




As we enjoy the view of our next-door neighbors' house, a word about the Man in our house...



James has done an incredible amount of work.  Much more than he's got listed on this handy-dandy 2x4.  He continues to impress us with his abilities, and we are grateful for his hard work.  At the end of his 10-hour work days, he comes home, gives kisses and hugs to all, joins us for dinner, then gets back to work on the house.  After dark, he quits, showers, eats his cookies and milk, and collapses into bed.  And he doesn't complain.  Ever. (must be the cookies)  I am grateful for my big-picture husband, who leads us with love and action.  


Before and After

Well, it's morning, and here's the view!

 Still a long way to go, but it's starting to take shape...

Working until Midnight



One last pic of the remaining yellow siding.  After this, it's all gone...

The hole is cut for the giant playroom window.

And we brought in a buddy for the evening.  Jason's here to help get the window in place. (I'm only good for picture-taking and snacks)

And as the dark deepens, THE WINDOW IS IN!  These guys and their headlamps...

Love this glow from the inside lights.  Can't wait to see it in the daytime tomorrow!
