Our helper.

So much for my claim that Zorro is a good helper... This is how he "helped" with the painting of the porch floor.

The big footprint in the middle is a result of Brad's rescue mission.

Sorry for the crazy eyes and the horrible mess of boxes and mops in the kitchen... you know how it goes.

Progress

Paul and Gin came to help us this past weekend. We got a TON done. Thank you, guys! We really appreciate your help!

Remember these bushes?

Ha! I was strangely conflicted... I wanted them gone, but I sort of felt like it was sad, unnecessary plant-death. Thank you for your service to this earth, bushes. You'll be replaced with some pretty trees or flowers.

BUSHLESS!
