Just a quick update

I promised that I would be posting more, but life and sickness gets in the way. I was down for the count for 8 days with a double ear infection that caused vertigo. - NOT FUN- I am so glad to back to "normal" now.

The gutter hanging went really well. No one got hurt and the gutters look great! Brett did a great job and even did the front side of the house all by himself. (that day was the first day of being sick and I slept on the couch the whole time) The gutters have been tested already by a few rain showers. The biggest difference is the noise. On the back deck we basically had a waterfall, all the water went over the edge of the gutters, not down the down spout. We didn't realize how loud that really was until the waterfall went away.

Not much else is going on. I am trying to grow some cherry tomatoes, normal tomatoes, and jalapenos. They are growing very slowly so far.

I also made a curtain for the living room. I'll just say that I did pretty good! I'll get a pic of it soon.

We are looking forward to Uncle Jeff and family coming to visit soon. Martin, Ashlan and Carew will be here right after Jeff and Ann. And next weekend I will be in DC to see Laura. Lots of fun times with friends and family!

Just Hanging Around

This weekend we will be just hanging around - hanging gutters! Yep we are going to replace our gutters and do it all by ourselves! Brett and I have absolutely no experience doing this type of project, but we have read about it on the internet and it sounds simple enough.

The old gutters are leaking and causing water damage to our house, so this task must be done. We went to home depot and priced that the materials would cost. I was surprised at how much just the gutter supplies cost, so I can only imagine what it would cost to pay someone to do it.

So wish us luck! If you have any words of advice, let me know.
