I have a song stuck in my head, but it won't work for this title...

Friday morning we discovered this:

Someone from some agency was nice enough to put a sign up so people would hit it. It's the second big limb to fall since we've been around.
See, big spot!

Then there are the big ass rocks in the yard, and a lot of the other yards in the neighborhood. Our rocks were hiding another stump:

Sunday, FIL attached a big rope to the rocks and to his van and drug them off of the stump so it could be ground down.

So today, the people from the tree place came and cut down the tree with falling limbs and ground down the two stumps. Nice! Now we just have to find grass that will grow all around so it's not such a barron mess.


In other news, the cabinets are starting to go up in the kitchen. This was FIL's progress for Monday, Keith was going back tonight to help finish the top cabinets.

We also discovered Sun that one of the cabinets we bought is too wide, covering the window on one side by about 1/2-3/4 of an inch. It's frustrating, especially because we had someone from Ikea come and measure out our floor plan to make sure it would work. We all missed it.


Look, the mirror is gone and the walls are primed! Yay, now I await the texture fairy.
This took me 45 min to tape up. Friggn' plastic was too heavy for the tape, it was big and awkward and everyone else was doing other things. But, damn it! No paint on the fire place!
Hallway awaiting it's final coat of paint:
Front bath is almost done, pretty new towel holder:
New towel bar:
And spit shined toilet re-installed:
Yep, we're over the hill and slowly creeping down. Are we there yet?
In non house related things:
Cody, Ty and I went to a birthday party on Sat evening for his buddy Lucas that we met through the gym. This is so hard for me because I didn't know anyone but the host family, but it was fun. They have some great friends that were easy and nice to talk to. Maybe even pulled someone over to the dark side of F.O. Preschool!
