Look what we've been doing....

Some home improvement projects we have been working on:



The old well house - it was functional, but last winter we had some problems with water freezing.  It was hard to work on, so we decided this year to tear it out and build something more functional.



This is every boys' dream - young and old.   And we ended up with this:



The well is in the back right corner now and will be well protected and insulated.  Now we have room for other storage (bikes, kids' toys, etc).


My father - in - law took out the bushes from the front and side of the house.  We're not sure what we'll do with this area yet, but it looks so much better without the bushes.



(You can see the old bushes in the background of the shed picture.)


And an ongoing project - cleaning and organizing the barn.  Still some work to be done, but now you can see much of the floor and can walk all the way through it.



After all the work is done, I sat down today to do some painting (something I have been wanting to do for a while now.)  Here are the results:




Tomorrow - organizing the school room and getting it ready for the start of school next month.
