Tomorrow they begin ripping out he old crumbling driveway and it will be poured new. In two weeks they begin putting new siding on the house and in three weeks I pick up the wood to replace the floors in the kitchen and family room. I enjoy working with wood, even doing the floors. I am doing them myself along with replacing the trim. <br /><br />It keeps everyone so busy and as we are emptying rooms to work on we get rid of what isn't required any longer. It has been good for us to clean out he clutter as we go along.Dad and Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204246139693620329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-74677507978050472442013-10-13T21:06:50.066-04:002013-10-13T21:06:50.066-04:00I second Ms..
