Day Trip to Eau Claire WI.

This is a picture of Debbie and Sharon in front of Shelly and Mikes new house in Eau Claire.To the left is a three stall garage. Out back is a great deck off their kitchen dinning area and a nice yard. We had a great time riding up with Deb and Paul on Wed. About 3 hrs 45 min from our place. It was fun to see the excitement of the kids with their new home. Thanks for a great day Debbie and Paul.

P.S. The bath room in the basement is complete and functional !! Welcome anyone who wants to come and stay. We now have some capacity for guests.

Bath Update

Have you ever noticed the limited space there is in a bathroom. There is plenty of room for a shower and any needs. But just try to take pictures in your run of the mill basement bath addition.
The flooring was a helpfull idea of Paula's. Go to Home Depot!! They have a great selection and even I can do it. It is a floating vinyl stick together plank. I didn't even have to read those spanish directions!!
Oh by the way Brent the outlets are all grd fault. And I did read those directions and tested them for proper installation. The circuit even triped when I accidently hit an outlet with a little paint.
Note the shiny walls. Ron came in and worked his magic mudding the joints. Then Art suggested a semi-gloss latex epoxy finish coat over a latex primer. Well thats about it, just one door to hang, finish the trim and hook up the water and drain .
Hmmm ? I wonder if that will get me a free pass to golf and fish this summer? I have a few ideas for next winter but for now I think I will keep them under my hat.
