We've been busy working on little things around the house now that Patrick passed the Bar and I will be returning to work soon. We added electric base board heat to all of the rooms, tore down and hauled away an old shed, painted an outbuilding and have taken care of some minor repairs.
The kids have pitched in and we've all worked hard to made the place look a bit nicer! Having an old farm house is a bit daunting sometimes, but we love the view and enjoy the yard enough to make it worthwhile.
We had highspeed wireless installed and purchased a king sized bed for the master bedroom over the summer as well. We also traded in my old Explorer and bought a used Expedition. We had installed with a third row seat and it gives the kids more space.
