As you can see the Olympics has caught us and we have been recording and watching as much as possible. We had to delete everything else off the DVR today because we were running out of room to keep recording. Zach has especially been enjoying the Olympics. We recorded the opening ceremony, as we were really busy Friday night and could not watch it then. When we finally took a break Saturday night, oh around 10:30 PM we turned on the TV and the Olympics were on then. Michael Phelps was getting his biography played, then of course he won the gold. That was it, Zach was hooked! Well in a manner of speaking.
We are continuing to work on the kitchen. These are only a couple of pictures we have.
As of today we have finished the floor, the plumbing work, new electric outlets and wiring. Oh and most of the room is now insulated.
While we had the wall open we took advantage and added a new electric outlet to our bathroom and installed a new light. Here is the important part, it has an exhaust fan! Yes, we needed that for when steamy is in the shower.
Since we never like to see life get dull. We of course have dug into a new project. Well, actually Zach dug in- quite literally. He found an Eagle Project and got it approved last week Thursday. So after getting it approved he got on his cell phone and first texted everyone that was around here, to see if they could help him on Saturday. Then he started calling people to see who could come and help him get started on Saturday. He called his YM leaders, he had some of the YM call each other to come out and help, and of course he called on a few friends to help as well. The outcome was that Saturday morning he had 17+ people come out to help him with his project. It was a great start and he hopes to have it finished within 2 weeks of starting.
Oh, the project? He is creating a historical display for the trolley ties of the trolley that ran through Catonsville. It was Trolley 8. The Catonsville Historical Society had possession of the ties, they needed cleaned up, moved, and of course set in a display. He is also doing some other maintenance around the Historical Society.
