For Our Posterity: Moving On

The McKinnons are gone. Their time was up so they have gone home. Randall and I are sad because we both really liked them. They will be missed. They have been replaced by the Gardner's. Super nice people. Both are hard workers, I can't keep up. They will only be here for about a month until the Dustin's get here. Elder Gardner (Bob) is 70 and is a retired army helicopter pilot/engineer. Sister Gardner (Leslie) is 69 and is a retired lawyer. Short story about Sister Gardner and me, when I found out she was a lawyer (me being so smart) said, “Cool I don't know any lawyers”. Well later I was telling Randall what I had said and he looked at me like I was out of my mind. Then he said, “What do you think Karl is (My Bother In-Law)? “Oh”, I said (how smart can I get, right) then he said, “What about Elder Walker (The senior couple from Gymon branch)? OK, proven, once again, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.

We are done with the Lodge!

New Kitchen with Island and stove. Beautiful! Don't you agree?

New bathroom and laundry room and the Island with it's new stove. Nice!

New finished bathroom. We got to order the cool
shower curtain because it is a hunting lodge!

Now on to house #3. We have torn out the walls upstairs and the ceilings upstairs and down stairs.The bathroom and kitchen have also been striped. So we are down to the studs again except for the downstairs. We don't need to tear out the sheet rock in the basement, it's in good shape. The basement bathroom will need to be totally gutted though and we have only started that. Randall is going to have to do some fancy foot work with the roof because of sagging and moving. I'll let him explain in his Tidbit section. We tore all the stucco off the outside of the house. Randall was so proud of us, we did it in 1 and 1/2 days. Really hard work, especially carrying the pieces to the dumpster, they were supper heavy. Going to show you lots of pictures of what's been going on so far.
