Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Lights!


Kitchen area :) 


Master bedroom. All the lights in the house are wired up and in. They all look pretty much the same so I thought I'd just show you a few :) 



Doors and Drawers


Well here is the almost finished project! After 3 sandings, 2 stainings and 3 layers of clear coat, just on the drawers, I'm feeling very finished with this project :) 


Actually that's not all I have to do yet. I want to paint the inside of the drawers yet and I may put a layer of clear protective coating on the doors too. But they LOOK finished ;) 


Here is a bit better picture of the doors. 

Calves to the Lease.

Going from our place to the lease. Papa is in the lease, calves still on our place. 


Farming has a way of calling to us and lately we've been doing a bit of it. Ivan, the smallest calf in the top picture, needed to be separated from Isabel so Papa cleaned up some bush, built some fence, lured the calves in, easy as they love that cow candy!, and we checked on the calves and they looked happy and in the right spot. The next morning Ivan was not in the pen, he was beside his momma's pen and soon inside her pen. So much for that! 


The road in the lease. Papa had to clear a chunk of the neighbours fence so he could make it stronger. It's just before this picture. 

So Papa rebuilt some fence, gave the calves an alley way close to the cows but ultra built with HOT fence and put Ivan BACK in with Milton and Patch and we waited. 


The far corner of the lease, where the grass really grows :) The calves finally get the cow candy! 

The second fence held! Yay! For the next few days Papa, and sometimes I, went to 'walk the calves to the lease.' A fun short walk. Papa in front with a bucket of cow candy, followed closely by Milton, Patch and Ivan, with me following along behind. Happy steers! 


Pantry Doors


No stain. 


First coat. 


Second coat and finished! Yay!

First Paint. Bathroom Floors.



This is after the 1st coat on the bathroom floors. I really put a LOT of paint on the floor and it's a deck paint so it's taking awhile to dry. Hopefully today I will be able to do the second coat. I'm also going to stain the walls before Papa puts them up and then the bathroom work will really start :) The color is a bit darker in real life.
