Love the hammer drill!

Love the hammer drill!

Finished drop ceiling, for a couple of amatuers that never did a drop ceiling, I think it came out really nice.

And now we have started to put a little paneling up over some of the old sheetrocked walls. It's really coming along and looking pretty good...of course that is my opinion.

Continued progress on the basement

This past weekend, Laura and I finished the drop ceiling in our basement. Pretty nice accomplishment I believe, and it came out looking really good. I still have a little electrical work to do, throw some paneling over the sheetrock and then get the pool table set up. I'll post some other pics of the basement as it comes along. We hope to have it all completed by the weekend! (Of course there will always be more projects)

And...summer is over, we closed the pool last night.

Well, now completed one more step in getting our basement habitable. Laura led the team of the two of us in getting the rest of the drop ceiling done in half of the basement. Now we have prepped the other area to be done, just have to get some more energy to get moving and finish it. Then the pool table and TV and bar can be moved in.















Here's other shots I found from the the past to put up here...This is Maddy with our neighbors on the 4th of July (Mr. and Mrs. Hay as Maddy says, really Sean and Margaret Fay.)









Here's Kayla, getting a chance to ride the jet skit on the 4th as well.









And here is Samson, relaxing in his tent that Maddy painted just for him. This is usually a safe spot for him to avoid Sadie (the dog)









And lastly for today, a picture of Laura and I at the last Phish concert. Still hard to believe that she would go to something like that as much as she dislikes the band...but we went and had a great time!

To the left is Marley...he's a Hahn's Macaw. Cute little guy, can get loud, but working on getting him talking more.

Below is the dragon ROAR!(also known as Maddy)














Here's Laura, Maddy, and Aunt Kathy on the Cape.













And there's a shot of the little ones in the pool, usually the best place to find them this past summer.

Here's my girls, whom without I don't know where I'd be! : )

Starting this to keep up with the life of times of the Nut House on Sextant Road.

Here's Kayla on her first day of school, now in 4th grade! Beside her stands her usually faithful sidekick/sister/partner-in-crime Maddy.

More to come...
