The Garage

First off, let me ease your worries and tell you that Kelsey (the horse, not my cousin) is settling in fabulously.

But, more about her (and more pictures!) later, I promised hubby that I show our other *big* project that's going on right now: His Garage. (and yes, this is the reason that i could barter for a horse. haha.)

*

When we bought our lovely but previously un-lov-ed house, this is how our house looked: quite lost and forlorn.

*
And after we cut down the weeds....


*
And after it was rototilled....



*

And then we planted grass....ahhhh.....and life was good.

Add in a lovely underground sprinkler system for us who are lazy, and "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work." (Genesis 2:2 NIV). So we rested too, and the lawn flourished.

*

Till Now...

Our 3rd Stall is well on it's way.

*

First, we prepped the garage.


*

Then, big holes were dug and walls were poured.


*

Then, I was going to take a picture of the cement pad for the floor and where we put our initials into the concrete. But, it was late at night, and when we woke in the morning it was mysteriously covered. Odd.




*

But now (and really, at this very moment), our lovely friend Bill (really, a very good contractor. Smiley, works AWESOMEly with us, and is ON TIME. i love him.) is working on the walls. And doesn't it look grand?!?




*

And this is where we are now. Coolio. Everyday, another step. It's lookin' good, boys.
