Happy Halloween!!

Work had a little fun for Halloween and did a pumpkin carving/decorating contest. I thought I would post them because they turned out some pretty cool pumpkins. The winner was:



The honorable mentions are below.

Pool and Pups

The game room is finished enough that we were able to get the pool table moved in so Aimee and Ray could close on their house. There is still work that has to be done to get it completely finished so it has been covered and there will no playing pool until it is completely finished (sorry Justin!!).



When we work at the house we like to have the dogs over there. They run around and play while we work. We usually put in long hours over there on the weekends. Here are a few pictures of them after they have worn themselves out.
Yes she is actually sleeping standing up!



Here they are waiting patiently by the truck while we pack up to go home.

The Work Continues - House 2

Work is continuing on the second house. We took out 2 walls to help create a nice open area between the kitchen and family room and between the family room and dining room. Wow, did it make a difference. I am excited to see the finished product. We are having to do a little more work than was originally planned because the previous owners cut a few corners. Therefore, the nice granite that was there is being ripped out and replaced.

We also had a little mishap with one of the contractors. While they were in the attic adding the bracing to remove the walls...his helper "forgot" that he's not supposed to walk on sheetrock!!! Luckily he didn't fall all the way through but Justin said he peaked his head around the corner to see what all the ruckus was about and saw a leg dangling into the family room. You can see the damage he caused in the pictures below.





We have started working on the cabinets that will line the hallway between the house and the garage. That room will basically end up being a mud room.
