Well this summer has been flying by so quickly. Its well into the first week of August....school will be starting soon for our nieces and nephews. A couple big firsts this Fall for our families...Sami will be starting kindergarten, Travis will be starting college, Skyler will be attending a new school and someone will actually not be attending school this Fall for the first time in about 17 years. Thats right Kara will be finishing college this Summer. Her last final is a week from this Thursday. Hip-hip-horray.
One big project we have been working on this summer is our back yard. We hired Shawn to put a nice patio in for us. Which led to Jim wanting a nice awning to cover it. Funny how this just keeps rolling along. Then we decided it would be so nice to have the grill off the enclosed porch so we hired Shawn again to expand the patio to include an area for the grill. Which led to Jims most recent project a roof over the grill. This will allow him to grill in all kinds of inclimate weather. I am sure Alison and Robin realize even though its rare we sometimes get rainy - snowny -sleet and any other weather condition that may typically cause one to cancel their grilling plans.
Here are a few pics today showing off Jims new awning. Please don't make the mistake and call it a roof. Awning = no permit required. Adding a roof=permit and reassessment of taxes. I'm sure you can imagine how nervous Jim is that someone won't understand its just an awning. lol
Jim's Awning Project
I'll post a picture of the finshed patio and awnings in a couple days. Just waiting for a nice sunny day. Or..... better yet... come on over and join us for a drink or something yummy.
Don't worry there was a small reward that Jim was able to enjoy after he finished his project. He took the MG out for a nice ride.
What a Beauty
