Hardwoods and Primer for the Den

Monday, August 17th, 2009

It has been a long time since my last post, but luckily Rory has still been working hard at the den. We had Bert our contractor do the drywall and mudding. It turned out to be a great thing as he did it while we were at work and as always did a fabulous job.

But now it’s time for painting and hardwoods. Rory primed the walls and got the hardwoods as ready as possible so there will be minimum prep time to get them done. Hopefully within the next few weeks we’ll have the hardwoods refinished.

Here are some pictures of the current state of the den:

The picture below shows where the hardwoods were after we removed the closets. As you can see, quite a bit of patching is needed. The pictures above shows how Rory prepped the weaving of the hardwoods.

And here are some pictures of the walls being primed. This was the first thing Rory did after the walls were finished while I sat and looked at him work. That’s right, this den was done by Rory’s hands mainly. I have contributed very little unfortunately. But I am very excited to have the den.

Trevor and Crystal’s Wedding

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

On August 1st, 2009, Trevor and Crystal tied the knot. The wedding was beautiful and it took place in Everett at the Yacht Club overlooking the water and boats. Here are a few pictures from the wedding.

Dick Conrad is the guy below with the camera. Though he was not their official photographer, Ron handed him his camera and he became one. Along one of the official photographers he looked and was a professional.

Here’s the second official photographer for the event. Though of course, there were a lot of people as myself with cameras.

As the night went on, people were celebrating and having a great time. Ron got a little weasel ball as a present and that was quite an entertainment.

Congratulations Trevor and Crystal! May your life together bring happiness, laughter and great time! And may the tree you planted together live a prosperous and rich life.
