October in Images
/October held more business than we are used to. We installed a door from our garage into the backyard (because there wasn't one.....who builds a house without a door from the garage into the backyard?!) I traveled to Denver to visit my dear sister and her family after my precious niece had surgery. I spent a few days there over a long weekend and came away with NO pictures of Sarah and I together - good gracious! I did a solo project in the dining room while Josh was gone at a med conference for the last half of a week - it was exhausting and probably too much while I was solo parenting, but worth it.
We undertook a massive kitchen redo project that extended well into November and proved to be frustrating and a testing of our graciousness and patience with a local contracting company that bit off much more than they could chew, and never owned up to it. We have a kitchen that looks worlds better than it did, but we will most likely need to replace counters before we sell, as they failed to do a professional job in many areas that we predict will significantly decrease the lifespan of the product we had them install. Oh well, it looks beautiful!
We also hired a contractor to put in a bedroom in our basement where the perfect little nook already held promise. It's been heavily populated since being finished in mid Nov.
We visited a pumpkin patch nearby that is well known in this area. It was incredible and such a fun day! I'm not sure how many acres it spans, but it is well worth the visit once a year!
