Home Sweet Home

My oh my it's AUGUST.  We're looking forward to another month of summer fun but still reeling from all the craziness of July!  We had a great weekend which (of course) went too fast -- we finally stuck around Waterloo for a weekend.  Kurt finished one of our big projects by fixing the multiple problems with our garage... It was leaning and sagging in all sorts of ways. Some genius before us decided to cut out 4 of the 7 trusses when they installed the automatic garage door... so he had his work cut out for him!  Kurt spent a good chunk of time setting concrete anchors, lifting the ceiling up,pulling walls in, re-setting all the trusses and tearing out the old ones. Good thing he's a "handy man" because it looks like a whole new garage now!! 


What an improvement!!! :)

I've also been working hard to "finish" the inside of our house as well!  We've added alot of personal touches and it's really feeling like home to us now!  Of course... there's still some finishing touches that need to be done and a nice long "wish list" for the coming years but here's a peak at our new place: 

Sorry for the blurry pictures! It's the best we can do for now and we've gotten plenty of people asking for house pics.  We're really happy with our cute little starter home and can't wait to keep making it our own!  Come visit us sometime... we love company. =)
