365Project.2013 | Week 17

And the weeks march on ...

 

Day 113. Mommy was quite surprised by the stream of water running down her neck. Peter was obviously delighted to have gotten Mommy. Mommy was glad she had the camera out for more "normal" pictures and was therefore able to capture his delight. :)

Some six months after renewing my efforts, I have finished the last of the formatting I needed to do for Missions for Kids, my children's church program. Now I need to pursue permissions for the materials I've included from online sources, and then it's on to figuring out how to sell it. #onestepatatime

Day 114. Flying high!

Or hanging upside down ... take your pick! :)

Day 115. At least someone enjoys using the dog house ...

Day 116. Have I mentioned that this young man loves. to. work.??? He just heard me mention the idea of putting rocks around the flower beds, and then surprised me one afternoon with the project nearly completed!

Day 117. This little guy was rather tuckered after a long day of basement project and a late dinner ...

Day 118. Our first "after" picture, taken in the wee hours of the morning.

And another taken at a more sensible hour. Counters are on order, and the ceiling is obviously yet unfinished. Other than installing doors however, this project is pretty near done. :)

And for a good dose of perspective, here's a before picture taken when we first moved in. Let's just say that the picture makes it look a lot better than it was ... Between then and now, the cement block walls and concrete shower were torn down, a window was installed (or uncovered???--can't remember), plumbing was redrilled through concrete, walls were reframed with 2x4s (including an incredible linen closet), and then the normal bathroom fixtures were installed from there, including tub, flooring, cabinets, vanity, etc. We are all very excited about the end results. :) And so thankful for the multitude of folks who helped along the way--especially in the early stages.

Day 119. Taking time to teach your kiddos is effective when you're juggling projects + work responsibilities. Hannah continues painting pieces for the closet shelves while Daddy handles a work call ...
