Trucking along...

Things are slowly but surely being crossed off our never-ending to-do list.

Rob built some temporary stairs to and from the back yard, that will tide us over until we build a new deck next spring.



The trim around the french doors has been completed. It will be primed and painted once the rest of the trim is in place.





The thing with the shelves is complete and primed, but not yet painted. That is our old TV that you see there, that I bought seven years ago at the Great Glebe Garage Sale for $10. We will eventually be replacing it with something slightly more spiffy and with up-to-date technology such as a remote control. Hee.



And, we have figured out our island solution. We didn't want anything that would overwhelm the room too much, so we decided to go with a butcher-block top table. We still are a bit undecided on this, so we might decide to tile the top to match the counter, but we're going to leave it as is for now to see how we like it.





We had a great summer of fun and relaxation. Despite my concerns of schedule-creep at the start of this project, I was glad we took some time off to enjoy life.

Patrick had an eventful summer.

He met his idol...



He did lots of playing in the water...



He got his first ever haircut...



And basically just enjoyed life. Life is good.
