3) INstall new sink and countertop in the kitchen.
4) Jack her son has replaced all the plumbing with copper piping

7) replace glass and paint the windows inside and out
8) Install newer electrical outlets

10) More painting.

Now comes the fun part

Decorating/accesorizing

So we go look at carpeting soon.
Boxes are slowly being brought over and placed in the one room that will not be carpeted. (The floor is nice enough that she thinks she can just buff up the hardwood. That'd be nice. Theat will be her computer/craft room.

Hot Water!

We had horrible flooding in WI on June 7th 2008. The sewer backed up in the basement. I had 2.5 feet of water in my basement. Thank the Lord that the only think of value I lost was my hot water tank. I tried for three weeks to dry the dang thing out. Just wasnt happening. So yesterday my Annie and I went to Lowes to get a new one. Her son Jack is 'almost' a certified plummer. I think he has little less then a year to his license. Anyway he is a sweetheart and he installed it for me last night.

You have no idea how much we take hot water for granted. Try going even just a week without it. YOu can bet I took a good long soak in a hot tub enjoying every second of it.
