The Almost Finished Project

 We've been hanging mirrors and pictures throughout the house.

 The guys working on the deck informed me they

are done ... really?  The gutter guy and lighting guy
still need to finish up that portion of the project.

We had a heart attack moment today!  I was outside working in

the front beds so I left the garage door open.  What I didn't

realize was I didn't close the interior laundry room door tight

and the wind blew it open.  Wilson came out and said 'I can't find

Julep the laundry room door is open' ... FREAK OUT HERE!

Julep came in off the deck thru the doggie door and found the laundry

room door open prompting her to explore the neighborhood

leash-less!  Thank goodness Derby won't come back through the 

doggie door so he was out on the back deck.  I headed to the

back yard & Wilson jumped in the car.  I spotted leash-less Julep

 taking her time sniffing the pathway.  She didn't run but came

right to me [breath here].  I carried her back and Derby was hysterically 

happy to see her as we were.  Lesson learned!

The gutters and the 3 spot lights are what's left to do on the 

outside addition.  

The guys put in the pet [or child] fencing today.  That's

the short metal poles between the taller ones. 

Hanging out in the screened porch - bedroom side.

I put a little water on all the plants because I didn't think

it would hurt even though I know we're going to get some rain.

The new front door and storm door.  We need to keep the

paperwork on display until the final inspection.

Wilson's picture will be better that his one.  He has a new

super-duper Nikkor 200-500 mm lens Santa left early.

We're hoping Julep doesn't figure out how to open

the gate to let herself out into the yard.

We also added a doggie door into the screen door.

Well - that's it for today ... happy holidays!
