Old door and framing removed and new framing going in....
Framed out and new door hung.....
Just a couple of local studs, hanging out doing some framing....get it ...studs and framing
Well the door is closed for now, thanks to big ole uncle Nate for lending a hand but its time to call it a day.
The chaos removed and the bones(which there is not much of) showing its time to reframe out, and remove the old windows and make room for the new energy efficient double pane windows.
windows gone and framing begun....
Windows in and framing done, on to the next wall.
After the cardboard was removed there was window screen all over the walls? You would think maybe it was a screened in porch at some time but this was not the case.
More sections of screening in no certain order just under the window in this pic .......
I had to build a makeshift rack to hold the existing plumbing and electrical sense there was no framing there to hold it up it was tacked into the drywall. Looks like daddy Dave has his work cut out for him.
Here Malia poses with her packaged tent, momma Mandy and daddy Dave decided combine a movie, popcorn and camping in the convince of their own home.
Here she is testing out the tent......
Making her bed, getting set up for movie night.
The next morning.........daddy Dave not in the pic, has already went too the kitchen to brew a much needed pot of coffee, while momma and the girls relax.
Here we have a pic of the laundry room which has now been put on the front burner. The objective is to redo everything from walls to floor to roof. Including wiring, plumbing, framing, tile, drywall, etc the whole nine yards. Let the good times roll it looks to be an eventful project.
First up is to make the most out of what pace there is, in the past daddy Dave built an enclosure to hold their enormous ancient tv. This tv has sense but put out to pasture and a newer flat screen has sense taken its place. The extra space could be utilized in the laundry room, laundry room motto "let no space go unused".
And close it up.......stay tuned for more laundry room renovations.
Hey you to what are you doing? Well were making a birthday cake for momma Mandy
Looks like the chocolate birthday cake went over well. And a happy birthday to momma mandy of which was actual a day or two ago. Though It's never too late for birthday cake.
It had come time to replace the front tires on my 34" Gravely walk behind mower. Daddy Dave uses this mower when he has to get through those small back gates. It is a beast and sometimes acts as a bush hog, I do have a couple clients who let their yard get too high, and this machine cuts like butter.
One day while doing maintance on the mowers daddy Dave overfilled one of the front tires causing it too blow, daddy Dave preformed a temporary fix but it was time to repair before the tire came completely off. Here you can see the tire threads.
The new tires were then put back on with a little extra grease and help from an air gun to make sure they were nice and snug. Lets go cut some grass
After the nessary supplies were bought the gutter assembly was started on the ground.
Success........here's an after pic with new gutters and down spouts installed. I'm sure they will be tested in no time with all the rain we've been having. This was duplicated on the other side of the porch.
Also new outdoor spigot was installed replacing a broken one.
The other morning Malia decided to get herself dressed.......she chose a bathing suit and bright socks which she called her roller skates. She would run around and slide across the floor. When momma Mand got home she immediately asked if her dad had gotten her dressed......for shame daddy Dave would have at least put on some gloves too.
Here is the current position of daddy Dave's trailer hitch.....it looks normal because this is how it's suppose to be, but this causes some problems.
Every time daddy Dave goes up and down the driveway the ball on the trailer hitch scrapes pretty hard so hard in fact it has ground the nut on the hitch down. How can this be solved? Well after cruising the Internet looking for some sort of fancy gadget to aid with this problem he stumbled across a simple solution.
Want to stop your hitch from scraping, Just turn the hitch upside down and mount the ball on top.......tada. Above you can see the old position and the new current one.
In this pic you can see just how close the hitch still comes to the ground, but no scraping. A simple flipping of the hitch allows the extra needed height.
She then drew a picture of her momma and daddy, I think daddy Dave is the one smiling.
