Etta, does this car look familiar?

We saw this 'Caddy' at a Boat-Bike & Car show at the Fort Worth Boat Club. Tim said his mom and dad owned one just like it, same color and all. Tim even took his driver's test in it.

Level

The master bedroom floor is level. Raising and supporting the deck did help some, and then Oscar planed the beams to get it just right. The man from the flooring company even asked how we got it so level (he had seen it when it was buckled up).

Before (humped up).

After: Beams planed, openings foamed and caulked, new insulation added.

New plywood installed. Level and ready for wood.

Birthday Girls!

Beth turned 7 on May 6th and Leigh Ann was 30 on May 5th. WOW...I don't know how either one of them got to be so old so fast! Lookin' good girls.

Ducklings

These little ducklings swim by the house a few times a day. The first few weeks they were always with their mom but lately they are own their own, but still stay pretty close together. So cute!

Plumber...

We were looking for a plumber and found one standing outside Home Depot holding this sign:

JUST KIDDING!! We called Charles Kruger from EPI Plumbing. We used to live in the same neighborhood and his wife and I went to Boot Camp together. He and his crew were great. They had to relocate several water lines, drains and vents because we moved / added toilets, sinks, and showers.

 New washer hook up on 2nd floor.

New gas line for tankless water heater, gas range, 2nd furnace and outside outlet for grill.

Hook up and vent all ready for tankless water heater.

Powder Room

In an earlier post I mentioned that we were going to reconfigure the powder room on the main level. The bathroom is actually behind the refrigerator wall now, through a small hall where the water heater and washer/dryer used to be.

The red and blue lines are pex tubing that the plumbers used on all the new water lines.

Tim relocated the toilet drain from one side of the bathroom to the other.

3rd Floor Shower

The 3rd floor had a half bath and we added a shower. We used the one piece shower that we removed from the master bathroom and luckily the tile removed from the guest bath matches so we can use it to patch the floor.
