Dad/Grandpa update from 7/17/10

Scott, Craig, Linda, Susan, Eric, Allison, Rosemary, Oscar, and 3 men from the ward went down to dad's/grandpa's house on Saturday.

We had 3 members of the ward who came to help us do work around the yard.  I want to give them a special THANK YOU! to them.  We were able to complete so many projects outside on Saturday.  The yard is looking so much better.




Everyone worked so hard and deserve a big thanks.  As we were leaving I noticed that the temperature was 104 degrees and everyone had been working so hard out in the warming day.


The fence in the backyard was knocked down and all of the fence posts removed. 

All of the wood and fencing was able to go into the dumpster. 

Eric and Linda kept working outside all day.  They were able to move all of the fencing out front to get ready for the sale.

 It is amazing what everyone was able to accomplish today.  thank you everyone for making things look so great.

We were able to throw out enough stuff to fill up the dumpster once again.  

  Eric and Linda cut down the grapevine in the front yard.  Thanks, this looks so much better.

Oscar trimmed all of the lilac bushes.  This really helped clean things up and it looks much better.  Thank you for your hard work.

It was decided that it would be much easier to remove and replace the bath tub since we were pulling everything else out of the bathroom.

These guys sure had a workout today.  This bathtub was at least 150 lbs.  You are all amazing!

We pulled up all of the particle board off the floor to get rid of water damage and a lot of the smell.

 The bathroom is looking and smelling much better.  We now have to put in the new floor, fix the plumbing, replace the wall, and install the new bathtub.

This was our visitor for the day.  He followed us all around and kept wanting to come help us in the house as well.
