Laundry is up and running

I found a box of pottery and started gluing the peices together, there are quite a few missing but it was fun to see if I could make it look like a pot.
Me fixing the cracks in the LR ceiling. I will paint it tomorrow.

Allan helped me tear out the living room carpet Today Feb 21.


Sun set was beautiful.




Annie and I made this cool snow man Feb 20.





Tony Wright is letting me use his old ATV and I joined the ATV club.






Looks good doesn't it.
















Room is mostly done now.

I kept the sink and counters but built the wall out to add R13 insulation.
Jackie's in heaven she is babysitting five days a week. Isn't he cute? 4 month old.

New plumbing and electrical for the laundry.


I found a nice hardwood floor under the lanolium.



Got the new windows in the old kitchen.




It's hard to see the wooden bowl on top but it is very cool, iron pot, old wooden boxes (Gladys says one looked like a butter mold). My black power stuff and a peace pipe I found in the dumster, a knife that Larry McCartee gave me and I made the sheath.





Kitchen junk.






Butter chern and an old table with dads' bread scale from the bakery.







More neat old tools. They must have belonged to my great grandfather Herbert Edwin Riggs.








I made this gun cabnet in High School. I think I was a junior?









Barbed wire collection. I guy that worked for dad (Dee Walls) gave them to him. I'm sure dad would like to see them displayed. Dates back to 1868.










Branding iron, log hook, drill, hay hooks, latch, handle, sheep sheers, brush, barrel spigot, clipper,pitchfork, screw driver, wrench, saw.











These are various moulding planes each cuts a unique shape.


























I put some of dads "junk" on a board and hung them on the wall on the back porch.

I still need to finish the china storage area above the door. One more coat of mud and some glass doors and maybe a glass shelf.














The Kitchen is done! Well very close.
Fridge and pantry cabnets. I will try to get the finished room posted later tonight as soon as I find the camera.

Sink and dishwasher is behind us. Stove to the left and fridge on the right.

Grandmas new cabnets and windows in the new kitchen (old dining room.





randma looking and us uncover the hardwood floor.







Working on the counter tops, scribing to the walls and bolting together.

Kanab home remodel

We found a vacant spot above the hall where we can make storage for china and stuff. I hoope to get done by Christmas.
Now, this was the dining room. The kitchen sink will be under the windows with the dishwasher on the right. The stud wall is for R13 insulation to keep the room cozy.

I love the new shower!


It's hard to get it all in the picture



New bathroom old tub




Doors hidden for 40 years!





Notice anything missing?






grandma and Tiger relaxing after a long day








We ended up with 3 deer this year. Kevin shot his first and Jason got the first one on opening day.
Well that's all for now.

Sand spring

Amazing rocks. Next I hope to go out east and find some dinasaur tracks.
Self photo at the sand dunes. 4 wheelers are sure fun.

Dilworth provided lunch and I got some rest in the shade. We had to hike a bit to see the pictographs.


First time I have seen multiple corn grinding spots.



Baby foot prints.




Rugged country





Pretty flowers, looking toward Kanab






Cool stuff
















Dilworth and I went 4 wheeling at Sand spring, saw some beautiful country and some Indian pictographs.









Her next favorite thing to do.










Moms favorite thing to do is help Rosa cut out school aids.











Mom rests every chance she gets.

























A beautiful view of the breaks. We got to have a picnic with Kerry and Cindy at Cedar Breaks.
