House Repairs: Sliding Glass Door
The next stage we were waiting for with great anticipation. The back wall had been repaired, and the roof trusses replaced and new shingled put on. The house was sealed up -- except for the boards over a hole cut for the place where the sliding glass door was to go. As you may recall, … Continue reading House Repairs: Sliding Glass Door
A Blast of the Past #131: Carly’s 13th birthday

House Repairs: Coats of Mud
I am very uncertain about using correct construction terms. But the next stage was making the inside walls smooth and without cracks or obvious blemishes before they could be painted.

Last weekend was the first weekend of WinterFest at Worlds of Fun. We weren't able to get out to experience it until Sunday evening, but it was certainly a well-developed event.

Something over 7,000 people came to walk the trails. The police eventually had to start motioning people away as people kept … Continue reading Caroling Caroling
