Having spent so much time working on the inside of the house it was time to start on the outside. Nick’s mom (Linda) and her husband Jeff came up on Saturday with our nephew Hunter (Nick’s brother’s son) and everyone was put to work! Nick and Jeff had the fun task of adjusting the gutter that was slanting down and dripping over the entryway. It didn’t look like a fun project, but hopefully the end result will keep up drier when it rains (looks like we should find out this week). While the two guys worked on the gutter, Linda, Hunter and Kara worked on fixing the mailbox (with Jeff’s help) and made a ‘flower garden’ around it. We planted spring flowers so we will see how we really did next spring (anything to make the house look pretty while Kara is stuck inside studying for most of the spring).
We also got a walk in with the dogs, and boy were they tired that night (Kara really enjoyed that)! Kara’s plan to buy any and all property she landed on during a game of Monopoly didn’t work, as Hunter took home the prize in that game- Kara is still trying to figure out where she went wrong!
Thanks Linda, Jeff and Hunter! The house looks great and we really appreciated the extra hands (ladder and tools).
