Garage Doors......


Our garage doors are finally in!!! They were installed yesterday afternoon. Dad H will be working on the electrical over the next couple days, and I think he was going to get the garage wired so that we can actually use the garage doors (right now they have no power to them unless we run an extension cord).
Our house here in Calgary is slowing getting packed up--I never want to move again--I really dislike packing. So does Jacob--he asked yesterday why we don't just get those mover guys to come and move everything......Even still, he has been a great helper!!!

The Boy's Rooms

Thanks to everyone who has helped us out over the last couple weeks--Dayna (and kids), Mom and Dad L, Mom and Dad H, and Eliza. We are moving right along with the painting. We have at least one coat on all the walls, and the kids rooms each have two coats. We will most likely leave the main floor until after everything is done (flooring, cabinets, moving, etc) as we will probably have to fix up a few nicks.....
Only 6 more sleeps until we are living at the new house....we have a busy week ahead of us. Anyone interested in helping move??? If so, we will most likely be starting at 8:00am Saturday morning......

This is the tile in the upstairs (boy's bathroom)

The railing is finished, and you can kind of see the chandelier on the left. We might have to have them back to do a few touchups on the railings--some sanding.....

The brown wall has 2 coats of paint on it now....

The chandelier over the stairs. We have a similar one for over the kitchen table.

Jacob got his wish--a purple and green room. He went down to Home Depot and picked the colours himself (can't you tell.....) The green is so bright it actually glows.......It actually isn't that bad, and all worth it to see the smile on Jacob's face!!!


This is Joshua's room. He picked the yellow, and I picked the blue. The blue happens to be the same as in Nathan's room.

This is Nathan's room. He didn't pick any of his colours--poor guy!!! He seems to like his room though as he had a 3 1/2 hour nap in there on Saturday....
