Here is Heather "helping."
Here is Heather "helping" the next day.
Dad was tired of her idea of "help" so he taught her how to use the tile saw and put her to work.
She picked out the stone, cut it if needed, put the mortar on and attached it to the house. She did that entire section and it turned out great.
This is our friend Neil McCoy and of course Travis. Neil did a lot of the stone, and Travis helped.
Once the house was painted, we started putting on the stone. Daniel had a great time, he thought it was lots of fun.
And, of course he was working late into the night. He was actually having such a great time that he didn't want to stop.
The columns were a bit of a challenge, of course Daniel loved it! They turned out nice.
Putting on the water table stone.
Daniel primed the entire house, then painted it with the help of course of his Dad......
Then after all of that, we decided that we didn't like the color. We tried several different colors and finally decided on the "right one." After mixing 12 five gallon buckets of paint WRONG, Lowes finally got it right and Daniel once again painted the house. We are really happy with this color.
Laura filmed the classes and concerts at the American Harp Conference this year. She learned a lot and met some important people.
Laura was the 3rd person to sign the poster that is now on display at the Lyon and Healy Harp store in Salt Lake.
This guy is Mr. Antonio Forero the President of Lyon and Healy harps. Laura should have asked for a free harp!
Laura got to play her dream harp. Problem is it cost $48,000. I hope her future husband can afford her hobbies.
Laura also got to assist in coordinating the volunteers for Stadium of Fire at BYU this year. It was a lot of hard work and some late nights but she loved it and had a great time.
Wow, our room actually looks like a room.....I love it!
Each evening when the drywallers were finished Daniel, the girls and I went through and cleaned up. It was soooooo much fun.
Heathers room, ready for some tape and texture.
When Daniel pressure tested the radiant heat system he realized that he had a leak so he had to chip out a section of the concrete slab and figure out where the leak was and then figure out how to fix it. It was quite a challenge, but of course he got it fixed and we are back in business.
I think it was about 3 a.m. when I took this. He was exhausted, but happy to have the puzzle solved.
Daniel hung the fabric that the insulation is blown into. And of course he needed a new tool to do it with. He had great fun with his pneumatic stapler.
The wall in the garage, all ready for the blown in stuff. It is supposed to be a great insulation system.
