Home Improvement: There's always something to fix!

Lately we've been frantically trying to get the house ready for the little one the way. Ironically though, everytime we do finally finish something, something else breaks. For example, we fixed the ice maker on the refrigerator and that same day one of the blinds came off in Mary's hands. Just as I was laying the last tile in our entire house, Mary's mom knocked on the door and told me that Mary was in the hospital (I had earplugs in and couldn't hear the phone). As I set the toilet in place again after the tile was grouted, the water fill valve decided it was tired and blew up, so we got to replace that too. Most recently, a week ago when the carpet was installed, my alternator on my car went out!

Somehow, through it all we seem to be making headway. The house is almost back together and Mary has been feeling very well since the little stint in the hospital. We really have been blessed to either be able to fix things ourselves or to get help from Mary's Family! In talking to a lot of people about all of this they wanted to see some before and after photos. So here they are. Since moving in 2 years ago we have painted everywhere, ripped out/replaced the kitchen sink & faucet, laid tile, laid carpet, built a shed, landscaped, poured an rv pad, built lots of shelves, and fixed all the broken stuff. These are some of the pictures from all of that crazyness! Click on the picture to see them in Picasa (you can see them individually or as a slide show there).
