Vacation!

BJ took one of his vacation weeks to work on our many projects around our property.  Remember I decided to relax and enjoy the process of all our projects at this home? :) 

Our first project was to rip out the drywall in the barn and see if we could avoid tearing it down.  After the counsel of a few friends, we decided it wasn't worth repairing.

Can you guess which hand is mine and which one belongs to a 10 year old boy? 

If you know Jud, you could imagine this being his dream come true!  He had a blast hammering and beating on these walls of the barn.  :)

Another project was to tear down the big mounds of dirt outside the house.  We were so grateful to Mr. Shrock for loaning us his tractor to do the job.

And the final project....framing in a closet for the boys in our garage.  

So, as I was enjoying the mess and chaos all around me, BJ blessed me by mostly finishing this project!  He worked so hard and I was proud of the job he did. 

The top rack will have to be for seasonal clothing since it is soooo high up....even for a 6'4" man!

The barn was brought down this far and now will sit until we are ready to tackle the next stage.  I'm okay with it because the mess is contained, and it now looks like a giant old shed.  :)
