It has been nearly a year since I blogged. So I guess I had better catch up with the year. First with my hard working husband, Mike. He has been so busy working full time at Cal State San Bernardino and then he comes home and works on the house. Progress seems slow, but at least it is getting there. this year he put up lattice fencing around the patio so it is more like an outside room. We spent a lot of time out there in the heat of the summer. The next project was the hall way which we created out of the end portion of the master bedroom so we have a way to get to the apartment. We also wanted a new place for the front door, as the old door gave direct access to the kitchen area which we wanted to use for pantry space. So an old patio door and a window were taken out and two small windows and a new front door were put in. An arch in the patio roof helped draw attention to the new front door. Inside the walls were finished, hallway cabinets were installed and a new glass door to the living area. It looks So much better- Thanks Mike for working so hard.
