I am guessing it is a livable, under roof, have heat project? That is the main things. Move in ready is nice, but most of us get livable, fixer upper projects. And, that is just fine.

I will try answering you all tomorrow evening.

And lots of progress has been made on the bathroom!

I am doing great as is the rest of the family!

TAH, we had to use a side off a refrigerator box as a bathroom door for a while when I was a kid while it was under construction. Never was so glad to have a real door!

That must have been some time ago @Pastor Dave! They don't put refrigerators in boxes any more. Just plastic film and cardboard corners.

Mid 80's I reckon.

That one word MOLD! is all I need to see it your way Sheets for walls beats mold any day and yes, while the walls are open, redo the electric.

Yeah, It is pretty bad.

Yes, we are doing the electric 1 week in January.

Hmmm . . . Irish/Western kitchen. Kinda sounds like an oxymoron! J This I gotta see!!! I love anything Irish. I can't wait to see how he adds Western to Irish style.


We have a 4 year old Broad Breasted Bronze turkey hen. She has given us about 25-30 eggs every Spring. Up until this past Summer, she has been a sweetheart.

Per usual, she went broody, only she stayed broody for almost 3 months. She didn't eat a lot when she was sitting on the nest, and she lost weight.

When we started feeding her again, she got food obsessed, and crabby!!! At first she attacked DH. I would chase her off with a stick. Lately, she has started coming after me! We were already leaning toward sending her to freezer camp. But, when she started coming after me, that sealed the deal! We as going to be butchering birds in the next week. And she will definitely be one of those birds!!!

I would like to put a couple turkeys in the freezer next Fall. So I'm thinking we will buy some poults next summer.

HAHA, I'm obessed with anything Irish, not to mention dancing!

But yeah, I will too... So far we are going to do the Irish Island, and cabinets, while the floor, Color, and countertops will be western style. But now mom wants to throw in some normal. lol.

Yeah, That's how my Tom was, he was butchered this last week... As soon as he went after the little ones, I was finished.

Cool, I love mt turkeys, defentily going to always gave some around.

My my that is a whole lot of work going on there and it will be really nice when it is all said and done too. I know your dad sure appreciates the help with the work and it will help things to go at a quicker rate. The animals are looking well and they really enjoy your company. Are you and your sis gonna be able to paint your own room?

Yes, it is... And a bunch more has been done since.

I'm sure he does. Plus nothing like building and working together as a family.

Actually, yes, we are... But dad just informed me and sis a couple of days ago that we can do our whole room. The only problem now is, sis and I aren't sharing a room, we are going to split it down the middle because ss doesn't want pets on HER side.

I'm doing a deep yellow and sis blue/purple.
