Home Projects

I am actually going to do a post on something other than Lukas.  My husband has been working very, very hard on a project at the house, and I am wanting to brag on him.  If you remember way back during spring break I posted a picture of a hot tub.  To make a long story short we were given the hot tub and the old owners were having problems with it working and didn't have any idea of the problem.  They were just wanting it out of their back yard.  We figured why not try and see if someone can make it work. 

Luckily, Erin had handy man Dustin helping him out to try and get this thing working.  After a week of late night electrical work, they got it up and running.  It heated and everything.  It has been awesome!

Well sitting in it one evening hanging out with some friends, Erin and Dustin came up with another idea.  They thought we needed some kind of gazebo/pergola type thing to really make it nice.  I thought yeah that would be nice, but we are not buying something like that.  They are too expensive.  Well I returned home from work one day a couple of weeks ago to find our backyard looking like a lumber yard.  I have learned not to even ask anymore and let these two just work.

To wrap this post up, to start our summer off right, the pergola is now finished!  It looks GREAT!!  I am very impressed that they built it.  Erin is learning a lot and even pulling out knowledge from his high school industrial arts class.  He really enjoys the projects and working with man tools :)









Thank you soo much Erin and Dustin!!!    Who knows what you will come up with next :)

  3. Beth apparently names everyone Carlos. In this case she is referring to a poor little bird that couldn't fly that landed on our back patio.
