What an angel

                      So happy cleaning - she will make some lucky man very happy in 40 years.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy turkey day!!!! No home improvement today (and we are THANKFUL for that ;-)

We are taking advantage of some beautiful (ie: warm) weather for November and we are building a fence! And with that, clearing brush. I had this image of W of his Texas ranch clearing brush with secret service men standing around, talking to their wrists. It wasn't quite as glamorous at our ranch.

That's me! Laying out the horizontal pieces

Tile Shopping vs. 2

In an effort to pick out a 3 backsplashes (2 for duplex and 1 for new house) we have been hitting the tile hotspots in Cincinnati. Here are some of the options I'm eyeing....(I love tile!!)

From tigers to lions!! Maggie and I went early-morning (note the hair do) tile shopping. Maggie was supposed to help me with backsplash tile, but she ended up spending most of her time with the marble lions. I'll put up the backsplash options later!

Appliances arrived today!!!

An oldie but goodie......

From the demolition on the duplex last October.
