Project: Not my House

 

Plenty of things going on lately,

none of them having to do with Project House.

 

Terry and Bob put in a new storm door at mom's house.

 

We've been working on our project dollhouse...

 

Totally redoing the front of the house.

 

Painted the outside, and stained the staircase.

 

Terry is working on putting brick on the front of the house.

 

Almost done painting...

 

It almost looks like a real house in this picture.

 

Carved our pumpkins.

 

This last weekend,

 my brother asked us to come out to his place

 and help him with a little project.

 

That butthead (Bob) made me get up at six in the morning,

I will get him back for that someday.

 

There's Terry on the roof of the pole barn...

 

 

Bob rented a cherry picker

and they got right to work.

 

Bob built a cupola for the barn,

and he's been waiting to install it

for a long time.

 

Finally, this was the day and he had everything ready,

so it went off without a hitch.

 

The base went up,

then the mid-section,

then the roof,

then the lantern,

then the giant copper eagle (weather vane),

and finally the windows are going in.

 

And there she is.

A very nice addition to the barn.

 

We nicknamed it the "Wonkavator",

cause it looks like the contraption

 that Willa Wonka and Charlie flew off

 in at the end of the Willy Wonka movie.

 

Glad it's done, and Terry was glad to help.

I did not like him on that roof,

but he was fine.

 

Another day, another adventure.
