Erich playing outside with the kids

Erich decided to take the kids out and play in the snow. Here is what he did...

He built a chair out of the snow...A beer chair, with a cup holder. So he sits out there drinking a Bud Light...and his beer doesn't get warm he says!

First Snow

Erich took the kids out to play in the first little bit of snow that fell at the beginning of this week. They were so excited to go out they just couldn't wait!!

Baseboard, Doors and Trim, OH MY!!

We found some guys to come over and work on the trim and doors. The ledge, windows, baseboard and doors are all hung....now we just get to paint all that stuff!

Cabinet Installation -Erich's Bar and Grill

Erich and is two friends put in the cabinets downstairs. Looks pretty nice!

Now we just have to wait for the countertop people to come and measure and make the countertops and install them. It is coming together nicely!
