New roof

No not on our house. We just did that earlier this year!

This time it’s on our garages. (Yes, I said garages, plural. No, we don’t park vehicles in both of them. That’s a long story…)

There have been some big hail storms in our area this past summer. And the roofs (rooves? roofes? more than one roof…) on our garages got damaged. So last weekend Farmer Doc called up some friends to come help replace the roof on the smaller garage.

Before they got started on the roof project, they fixed the dusk-to-dawn light. It’s been down since the major construction started last winter, and it gets dark around here at night! We’re pretty thrilled to have some light now after sunset!

The basement is finished!

Well, sort of.

Last we knew, the basement had been flooded,



all the stuff had been taken to the garage,



and the basement had dried out.



We were working on cleaning and scraping the walls of the basement so we could repaint.



I am happy to report that we have finished!

We washed and scraped and washed and scraped and washed again.  Somewhere in there we sprayed everything down with bleach.  We also washed and painted the floor.  And here is what we finally got!

The walls and floor are clean and beautiful.



We built lots of shelves so all the stuff from the garage could be nicely stored in the basement.



Well, it's getting there...

The most important thing is that all the stuff got taken out of the garage, including the two tractors that were hiding in the back!



And now, that garage fits not just one...



Not just two...



But three vehicles!  Including my husband's long bed, extended cab pick up!



Now we're talking!

If only the basement would sort and organize itself...
