Fees Road Renovations Day 1

By -

This is the view of the room from the south. You can see were the wall used to be that seperated the small bedroom that was there when we moved in and the living room. The door you see is to the master bedroom (for those of you that don't know the layout of the house.) You can also see the ceiling tile left to be taken down.


This is a picture of the front wall after the lathe and plaster was removed. The wiring you see was installed before Josh was born and feeds the plugs and lights in the small bedroom upstairs (now Emilee's room). The furring strips on the ceiling were to staple one foot square ceiling tiles to. The tiles came down in about 15 minutes. The lathe and plaster was a different story. That took a couple hours, including clean-up.




Added insulation before it got too cold in the house and stapled the wires to the stud. The window was added this summer.

On to the story of Izzy

By Chris Turner -
For the past couple of weeks we had been finally considering another dog, Otis having passed in June. Evenings found us as an easily-lampoonable suburban yuppie couple, each of us window shopping on our respective laptops on the couch. On our Sunday bicycle ride we earnestly began discussing the characteristics that we wanted: mature dogs, no puppies; a rescue from a shelter, not something for which we had to pay. But Tiffani spotted Izzy on CraigsList and all that criteria gladly went out the window. Contact with the owner was made, and we drove ourselves to Belding yesterday afternoon with the kids to see if the dog and our family would be a good, two-way fit. The owner was forced to get rid of her due to a breakup and she was sad to see her go. She's a Catahoula Leopard , of which we'd never heard , and the breed seems to have a colorful, if not completely fantastical story. The kids all played with her and Cori walked her, so Izzy slept well in a crate overnight, I hard
