railings

So for Cole's 2nd birthday, we got him some railings on the deck! Not planned but that's the day they came... long overdue but lookin' good, I think! Also had them take the plywood off the top part of the stairs, so I think it looks better...

With the cold spell we have encountered, it is looking doubtful if we can get the rest of our driveway poured now but... if next week proves to be as warm as they're claiming, there might be hope yet! Otherwise, a load of gravel it is, until spring!

helper of the week...

And the helper of the week award goes to Liam!!! Here he is taking the door knobs down to the basement for "Uncle John". J&D were here working on the finishing touches of our basement the last couple weeks, so we now have doors, baseboards, casings, window boxes, closet organizers etc. It's all coming together... Liam was our handy dandy helper and even added a few extras to his job description that had to be 'UNDONE' after the fact, like adding some additional screws in the wall! Hmmm...
