GREAT day for work on the house!

Well, the construction in the back room made leaps and bounds today! Mr. Sam has been spending most (if not all) of his time to get Ross's (my brother) kitchen cabinets finished so that they can put them in their remodeled kitchen sometime very soon. Here are some of those:
Pretty, huh? Mr. Sam does a GREAT job in his shop!! Don't mind the drawer without a front....there is one....there was just a...well...we'll say a slight issue. So...Mr. Sam is fixing it. :)

Well...the kitchen project is all but done and today was a day to spend on our back hallway project. We have just about as much done now as we can get done with the materials we have. We still need trim, a doorknob, some outlets and switches and then we get the joy of putting up the siding. However, Mr. Sam did a TON of work ALL DAY today and got pretty danged far!!

So, here are some photo updates of our "back hallway" behind the kitchen:
Here's the paint color...well...kind of. It's actually prettier than the pic. :) It's been painted for a while now...



Here is Sam putting up the trim. Again...happened the same day as the paint.
Here is the outside with the two "window units" in place. This installation process was today's work! The door prep (painting, sanding, and finishing as they came unfinished) took Sam forever to do from the minute he got the doors until not too long ago. They look FANTASTIC!Here is the door installation prep work...oh...and a popsicle break. :)
Here are the three units installed. The view from the outside. And a cute little boy.
Here are all three units installed from the inside. It was tricky to get a good picture because of the angle of the doorway I was standing through and shooting from the inside out is always tricky, but you can get the idea.

And here is the finished floor!!

So...LOTS of work got done today!! Tomorrow I am going to start working on the backyard a bit and see if I can't get a handle on the jungle back there. I'm choosing to ignore the hill for now and mostly just attack the places in the back yard that we live in and walk in and play in (well, would like to do those things). I have asked around to borrow a weed-eater and ...I think I have found a great solution. :) A friend of mine has a friend with goats. :) Yes...goats. We are going to hook up and do each other a favor (or two) with the exchange of said goats to hang out tied up in my backyard for a bit. I think they will have more fun "weed-wacking" than I would. :) I'll take pictures and let you know if I get in trouble for having a goat (maybe a couple) within city limits. :) What better way to get yard care and fertilization all at the same time? Man...we really are small-town Eastern Oregoners.
