Gutter Changes, et al


New gutter routing... so that we can collect the rainwater in the back.

Gutters on the carport

The back of the side yard... we need some landscaping ideas and dollars!!

Corner of the living room- note the in wall speakers.

The boys' bedroom-- the 2 seconds the bed was made today.

Crapalicious mAiL bOx


Lovely. It cost us $10 to make this mailbox... talk about getting the most bang for our buck!! I'm sure you'll see a pic tomorrow of this same mail box sitting on it's side, or better yet- GONE! We'll see if the mail lady will deliver mail now- or if she does, we'll see if she gets electrocuted by the live wires dangling above......to be continued....

Roof Pics, Front Yard, etc




We have another hole from the kitchen wall to the outside of the house. Luckily there's a plastic bag with duct tape covering it so no "weather" gets in. Not sure what the ETA is on finishing this project, but it will probably be like this for at least a few more months. Sorry, no pics of that.

Also, Builder Dad decided to go up on a really tall ladder to take some more pics of the roof. Looks pretty good without too many leaves on it yet. Wait for fall! Also, I think he got a pretty good pic of his dad on the front walkway. You can see the nice xeriscape and the herbs we have growing in pots.

Gutters, Vent Hood (or lack of), More Bullet Holes




Gutters are going up today (I think they're doing them wrong), the vent hood exhaust hole has been torn out and the dry wall is gone (thanks Builder Dad), and we discovered another BB gun shot in our front window (same window that has already been replaced). Drats!

Night time view


Notice the Texas flag flying over our house? Notice all the junk under our carport? It's getting better though!!
