Gardens at Night

A lovely English garden.

Canals

There are several canals through the city with locks along the way.

Dinner Day 1

This was a "proper" cheeseburger. The fries were good...the burger, not so much :)

Flowers, flowers, everywhere!

Love these...and there are container gardens like this all over the city.

Planter

Now that's one I've never seen before! It's in our hotel lobby.

Manchester, England

The English countryside...not so country anymore.

It's like they own the place

Jeep Collection

Added a few more toy Jeeps to my collection at the flea market last weekend. Found a shelf and brackets at Restore and got it all set. Some of the toys were mine we found buried in the yard :)

Barn Door fiberglass done!

We finished the fiberglass portion of the barn door for my jeep today. Now I will work on my design for a mounting system as well as a design for relocating my third brake light.

Naked Jeeps

My Jeep fit inside this Scoop!

Wheeling at Anthracite Offroad Park

Last days of 3rd Grade

Warming up Emily's Shirt

She loves her Emily.

Helping Dad

Em did the measuring, cutting, drilling and screwing to assemble my hard top cart with me today.

Happy Fathers Day

Here's how I spent my morning.

Fixing from Moab

Stock on left and after Moab on the right.

Lego

Emily made our whole family (including our cats) and there's even a Jeep in the driveway. Check out that retro house in the background.

Off comes the hardtop

Oil leak on my new Jeep

First Fawn of the Spring

Another casualty of our windows

We get about 1-2 birds a year that kamikaze our windows in the back. Today was a big boom when our woodpecker hit :(

Garage

What a day!

New front door was installed and our property value just went up since we now have a great view. Neighbors had all their big trees taken down which opened up our view.

Ceiling is in!

The fence is up!

Just a few more trim pieces to go. Have to wait a year to stain and we plan to add some retro decorations to it.

Stripped the new front door

Hall Ceiling

New ceiling going in.

Strong Hospital

Em and I went to visit Dad after his surgery yesterday. They are redoing the wing he was in and had this great array of pictures up.

Progress Continues

Ceiling almost ready for tongue and groove while sanding continues.

Ceiling stain color

Trying to decide what color to stain the ceiling. We will have pine tongue and groove that will go over this plywood. We like the front left one but it is a mixture of a couple of different color stains to get that.

Deconstruction Over

Now time to start putting it back together.

Guess what I found behind the drywall

The original fireplace! The existing fireplace is fake and was built in front of the old one.

Great mid century lamps

We picked up these this weekend too right here in Big Flats.

Weekend Finds

Before and After

Look what we found.
