Guest Closet/Toy Storage

Other storage advancements! This is a collection of before and after shots of the "stuff" that made a home in the guest room closet. This past week Eric made this book case for the grand-childrens puzzles, games and books. It looks so much nicer now, don't you think?

House on Elm Street

Yesterday turned out to be arbor day here in the neighborhood. Street trees, as they are called here in CrossRidge, are part of the landscape designs for each house. However, your tree isn't planted until the majority of the street is ready to be planted. In our case, this was now, a year after we moved into the neighborhood.

Promised Pictures

These are Friday pictures of the room upstairs. Eric inspecting the ceiling. We are not 100% satisfied with the way the texture looks on the ceiling. Some of that can be contributed to a lack of communication between us and the guy. Some if sloppiness of the work. No matter who is to blame, it's too late now so we will just have to deal with it. I told him we just needs lots of glow in the dark stars, lots and lots of them. Zack would love it.

Baby Steps

This morning the Eagle warranty yard guys showed up to rework the bed around the Electric board. They did a nice job, not what I ultimately want, but it is a start. Since any improvement is progress, this is good. My neighbor would like some roses in this bed, and says she has some. At the moment all they did was throw mulch over the clay. Obviously we will have to do more work before we can plant something like roses, or any plants for that matter. A garden like Mike's butterfly garden would also be nice here too, though obviously ours would be seasonal.
