Rainbow

When the rain meets the sun the beauty of a rainbow appears. Today it blessed Laurel St!

Cat and Eva Play on the Bay

Lula and I had two wonderful guests this weekend. Super mom Cathryn and Baby Eva! We took ferry rides, played on playgrounds, chased Lula and played with her toys, went to the outlet mall, drove boats, and ate lots of Tasta (aka macaroni and cheese). Thanks for the lovely weekend ladies :)

Doors, Doors, and more Doors

When the bathroom and kitchen were remodeled I ended up with 5 brand new doors. They were all raw wood doors which have been hanging in the original state for over a year. The biggest complaint I received from guests was that they didn't like the peep holes into the bathroom where the handles belonged. Here is a view of Lula on my bed taken through the peep hole from the toilet!



After 2 coats of stain and 3 coats of polyurethane the doors looked great! But they still needed handles. It took me 5 tries to get the first set of door knobs on but the 3 that followed went on without any problems. I then went back to the original door knob and realized that even after 5 tries it was still upside down!





These two bi-fold doors even had to be completely re-hinged, re-hung, and re-knobbed! So much work for two little doors.




If you need any doors refinished or door knobs changed give me a call. I'm currently an expert :)

Mowing the Lawn

Yes I seized the day and bought my own lawn mower. I went for cheap, little, and light because my yard is small and well....I'm little. So, here I am throwing my body weight into the mower in the back yard.
