House & Garage Update or ( What We Have Been Doing In Our Spare Time)

Eileen got the wood on the back porch stained on Fri with the second coat on Sat. We still have the steps to do. The yellow thing by the hose is a squeaky toy of Rocky's. It was so annoying, it got banned from inside the house. Rocky just loves things that make noise!
Got the paint for the doors Friday evening and Rick got the well room door painted. Still has 2 more doors to go. The door on the left is to the bathroom and it's next. This kind of makes a before and after picture.
Reid has been wanting pictures of the jeep showing the things Rick has been doing to it. Here is the new back bumper, spare tire and gate. The tire cover still has to be put on. We put the top back on and windows in yesterday as we wanted the A/C. He had to grind the hitch off the old bumper to get that bumper off. The people had welded it on! What a "fun" job that was. Eileen got to stand there with the fire extinguisher, just in case.
Flickr didn't put these in the order I had them. This should have been before the jeep. Oh well, this is Eileen's sewing room. We got the blind put up and Rick finished putting the baseboard in Thurs. night. Eileen painted it on Sat. morning. She really loves the yellow color (called Scrimshaw). With the white accents it really looks great. The left wall (without baseboard) is where her cabinets are going. They are white. After they are in, Rick will put baseboard where needed. Rick did a really great job of installing the tile floor. Eileen can hardly wait to start putting things in here to use it.

This is the new front bumper with the winch. Rick was really glad he had this when he went 4-wheeling on the "Top of the World" trail and had to use the winch to get out of a bad spot.
The insulation came Friday for the rest of the garage so after painting, that's Rick's next project. It gets really hot in there now. The sewing is insulated and what a difference.

Can't wait for you to come either. Seems likes it's been forever since you were here.
