The Bathroom is DONE!!!!!

Well, the bathroom project is officially-nearly-finished! (I just thought of 2 more things we are going to do, but can't until they come in.) We started this mess at Christmas if you will recall and we finally finished it this last week! You wouldn't think that such a small space could take so long. I guess we underestimated it! Here's some photo's so you can enjoy the visual fruits of our labors. If you come visit you can enjoy the actual fruits!

Blizzard of '07

Well, we really did end up having a blizzard! They extended the Blizzard warning until Saturday, March 3rd at 6:00am. The college asked students not to leave on Spring Break until Sunday afternoon because the roads were so bad. So, here's some pictures to remember all the mayhem by.

We really do have some concrete under there don't we?

Just a physical reminder of exactly how much snow we had in the alley!

The drift around the back door. And that is after we shoved and pushed to get out!

The north side of the house. Even the barrel was completely covered!

In Like a Lion. . .

Well, it's been threatening for the last 18 hours, but it looks like March is going to begin with a roar! For the first time in our 12 years in the Midwest we are in a Blizzard Warning for the next 36 hours. Needless to say, the kids don't have school today. They probably won't have school tomorrow either, but the school district won't announce that until late tonight. Now we just get to hope that the electricity stays on!
