Anti-Kerby (sorry mom)







For months now Kay has been saying that she wants me to buy her a Kerby. for some reason there was a door to door salesman that came around and got Kay all excited about the mighty Kerby.........$1200.00 for the basics? i don't think so! well i met her somewhere in the middle. i finally caved in and got her a new Hoover Wind tunnel II. It was around $300 once taxes and shipping were added into it. I must say....if I've got to pay more than $100 on a dirt sucking machine, this is a good one. here are some pictures. the carpet had been vacuumed before it arrived, and this was done after we had "cleaned" the carpet with our old vacuum. it has a hepa filter that cleans it's self every 6 seconds. that is the very very fine dirt on my fingers. it was finer than sawdust. then everything else collects in a Handy dandy bag less compartment.

NO BITING!



MY SON BIT ME! AND I HAVE THE MARK TO PROVE IT!

OK, SO MAYBE I ASKED FOR IT...WE WERE ROUGH HOUSING, AND PLAYIN', I PRETENDED THAT I WAS EATING HIS LEG, AND SAID, THAT IT TASTED LIKE CHICKEN YUMM....WELL, HE WANTED TO SEE IF I TASTED LIKE CHICKEN TOO I GUESS. HE BIT ME. ON THE BACK. IT BROKE THE SKIN. THAT MARK IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. IT HURTS. I DONT PLAY LIKE I AM EATING ANYTHING ANYMORE.

PART 19 (November 11, 07)





Well, the windows are in, 1/2 the roof is complete, the hot water heater and water softener is in, the electrical has been started, and all the leftovers have been moved into the basement. the plan is to finish the electrical, and start on stucco the coming two weeks. It's getting there!

Part 18




OK OK OK.....here are a few updates... we got the roof on and blacked in. The plumbing has also been completed. Anson is helping as much as he can, and chases the cat with sticks as much as he can. The cat hasn't been seriously hurt YET....
