This is the final dinner for the boys five full racks of Costco Ribs. Not only did we have these ribs, but there was a wedding rehersal dinner on the beach below are site. The mothers of the bride and groom brought up leftovers like BBQ Wings, Pasta Salad, and some chips. Needless to say we ate like Kings all weekend.

Bathroom Makeover

THESE ARE THE BEFORE PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been in this house now a little over two years and have updated all of the boring things, wiring, roofing, insulation etc. Now it is time to have some fun!!!

We are starting with the bathroom since it is so small total floor space exluding the bathtub is 25 square feet. We had horrible square tiles, yucky grout, and the best part a wooden window frame in the wall (wood and water mix sooo well together).

Under Construction

Here it is under construction. My foreman Susannah did a wonderful job cracking the whip while I was away and taking pictures.
Here are pictures of the studs, tiles being put up and the new plumbing and fixtures. We had them raise the shower up 6 inches which is a must have for all of us tall guys, huh Beau??



Here they are putting in the glass square tiles we picked out. As you can also see the wooden window frame is gone.

Finally it is Done

Here is the final results. Our bathroom is now finished!!!
Look no wooden window frame! The tile is wrapped to the window and sealed with silicone sealant. See how high the rain shower head is.

Best of all it didn't take three months like some other Nelson Bathroom Makeover projects currently happening.

Flowers

Once again Sooz is keeping up her garden. Here are just some of the flowers in the yard. Bee Balm, hydrangea, lavender and blue oak grass.

Sooz's veggie tales

Susannah has been out in the yard working hard this summer. She planted tomatoes and basil, our favorites for salads later this summer. She also is trying out zucchini plants, leeks and carrots. Here is how they are growing.

Extream Furniture Makeover

These last few weekend have been great with great weather and of course things for me to do. Recently we have purchased large pieces of furniture and have refinished them. Susannah's folks purchased a Secretary Desk and I re did that earlier this month. Last week at the West Seattle fair with Aarin, Jeremy, and Audrey we found a cedar chest and I redid it yesterday and today. Here are pictures of both.
