Habitat for Kelly and Jon

We are glad to do some projects on Jon and Kelly's house.  They were ready for us and had a few lined up.  One thing we did the first few days we got there was weed a small portion of their back yard and transplant some cuttings we picked up from Joan and Mike's in Tennessee.

We will see how they do.

Another one was to shorten the end of the workbench in the garage that we built last year while we here.  The clothes drying  hanger rack now can accommodate dresses with out sitting on top of the bench.

When shirts and dresses hang there, it hides the TV.  But they only use the TV when they workout in the garage.  That one took about 30 minutes to do.

Then I needed to remove the second shelf on the bottom of the shoe rack/shelf we built last year.

That way boots can fit onto the shelf.  That was about a 10 minute deal.

Along the way Jon borrowed a high pressure wash and we did the house around all the windows and soffit and fascia.  It was a pretty easy job and really cleaned up the windows.

The soffit and fascia and gutters will have to be painted.  But there is some work to do before we can tackle that job.

While he was at it, he cleaned the shed with the vinyl siding.

Pam has been making shelves for the back closet.  She is putting them down each side and above the main coat rack and shelf.

Kelly wanted the washer and dryer raised up on a platform of sorts.  So we built a couple of 'boxes' with some wood they had left over from the deck.

We cut the platform to fit the width and depth of each ones, then put them in place to make sure they fit.  We used OSB board to cover the top of each 'box' so the when the washer and dryer were working their hardest, they would not slide off the platform.

Then we painted them and put them in place.

I think we are just getting started on our projects.  We have more to do, but we are enjoying it!

Thanks for joining us today on the Roadrunner Chronicles!
