Well, we are moving along toward completion of the sunroom. I have installed insulation, but had a big problem when I tried to drink a beer with the full-face filter mask on.
Next came the bead-board, it was a pain but with a lot of help and advice from Granny Grumps I got it done.

Our NEW Sun Room

We finally started on the “Sun Room”. We had 6-3 foot by 5 foot windows installed and french doors installed on a new wall that divides the sun room from the screen porch. We plan to install beadboard on the interior walls and I am in the process of re-installing the lap [...]

A New Look For The Old House
July 23, 2008
Granny Grumps and I, (mostly Granny Grumps), decided that we needed a new roof and other costly improvements at the old homestead. So far we have (mostly me) begun rebuilding the deck , and contracted to have the roof replaced.
The plans are for us (mostly me) to remove the screen from about 20 feet [...]
Well, I can relax now. Darn it.

It Gone, But Is Being Replaced

For two months, at least, Floyd and I have spent a major portion of our time sitting on the couch on the back porch watching a couple of Mockingbirds set up housekeeping on top of the hummingbird feeder. They worked dilligently and tiringly for several days building a nest and evidently doing everything else [...]

June 10, 2008
Sara, the female half of our youngest grandchildren (she shares the age with her twin brother Matt) phoned us Tuesday morning. She wanted to know what out phone number was when we lived in Dothan. Although Evelyn and I usually have no problems remembering things from 20 years ago, it’s the things from 20 minutes [...]
