Girlie's Eye for Photography

Handsome Devil

Extending the carport before the winter came

A lot of wasted space ... need more room

Framing with the help of a dog and a chicken

Taking a break

Measure twice and cut once

You know, ultimately I would love to direct

Dog kennel with built in dog house

Inside all nice and organized

The finished product before the cistern was hooked up

Hey we need a woodburner ... okay I'll get right on it.

When you live in the country you should always have a secondary heat source in the 

event of a power outage. We kept our eye out, got a woodburner at a really good deal 

from the local Trading Post and once we decided on the placement I started the install.

Prepped and ready for stone

I collected stone from the creek bed, cutted them down to size 

and Judith and the kids cleaned them up

Mapping out the stones

Got my rhythm going

Almost done

The next day the mantle went up

Sealed and ready for grout

Through the roof and ready for the chimney pipe

Double wall to single wall

Silas showing off the new stove

Dad there a fire in there

Warm and toasty

Another year under our belt

Hank and I celebrated a birthday this past week. He turned 12 and I turned 51.

I guess he's that much closer to being a teen and I'm that much closer to breaking a hip.

All kidding aside, time sure do fly when you're having fun!

Hank and his new crawdad trap

Big blow out dinner in the evening.

Judith made Chinese food and baked a cake.

After dinner the kids went outside to have some fun with some sparklers
