Traveling with Larry and Linda: A trip to Ohio–It’s a go on the new porch

A little late on getting this posted. No excuse, just laziness this weekend. Well laziness on doing the post but busy doing other things.

First we got the quotes for the porch and basement and are going to have both done. The basement guys are coming Tuesday and the guy said it would take two days. I’m sure with the breaking up of concrete it’s going to be dusty in here. I’m hoping they have some kind of vacuum and I’m looking for a duct cleaning company to come in the first of next week. They are also going to put a window well on the west side of the house and bring in some fill dirt and build that up and around the back.

The porch guy said he’d be here mid week and that should only take a couple of days. He’s not putting the railing on, we’ll do that after we decide what we want. Like Larry said we’ll do all the pretty stuff and let the younger guys do the hard work. We’re also going to have him scoop up all the stones in the back between the garage and house and seed it to grass. I hate trying to walk on those stones. Hopefully next week I’ll have pictures to share.

Tuesday we took off and went down to Renee’ and Brian’s in Ohio. They are trying to get their house ready to put on the market as they will be closing on the new one this week. But it’s hard when they are working every day. So mom volunteered to go down and help out and of course that also included dad’s help. I can’t believe it but in two days we got the living room. kitchen and three bathrooms all painted (two rooms had to have two coats). The miracle is we both were able to move after those two days, even tho a little slower.

Our grandson Dar-Relle had his Senior Prom last night so have to share a picture of him with his date. Cute couple even tho he says they’re just friends.

Another picture I want to share with you is of Pepper and Finn who is Renee’ & Brian’s dog. This one is Pepper trying to explain to Finn how to play tug of war.
