After Pictures of Kitchen

It seems so much bigger now! I think it's the lighter color.

I like the back splash all the way up on the island

It just looks so much cleaner! We had several choices on edges and decided to go simple with the bull nose edge.

OK, I didn't think it mattered about a sink, but this is a work of art. I love the under mount. We decided not to go cheap on that, and the faucets just came from Sam's Club. It just makes the kitchen pop.

Just an over all look at the kitchen. I think I need to clean off the fridge.

Before Pictures of Kitchen

This was our island before the new counter tops. I really didn't mind it that much. Until I got the new ones and what a difference.

The darker counter top really made it look smaller.

I didn't mind the sink, but we changed in to stainless steel in case we ever decide to move, I guess they sell better.

Before and After Pictures of our Bathrooms

Since we're not traveling so much, we decided to use the money for new counter tops. We also did the kitchen, but the after pictures have too much of a glare so I'll post them tomorrow

This is my side of the master bathroom before

This is the guest bathroom

We put in marble counter tops for the bathrooms, in a light sand color. This is my side of the bathroom

This is Les's side of the bathroom.

Guess What This Is!

OK, I'm getting pretty hard up for content.

You can see it again in the background. This is Canola. So the next time you buy a bottle of Canola oil to cook with, this is where it comes from.

Les's Talents

We had pictures of butterflies on our patio that had faded. I asked Les if he had any pictures with the reds, oranges, yellows and greens that we had on the patio.
He loves to go to car shows and take pictures of cars, so he just went through his gallery of car pictures and came up with the ones we needed. It looks so much better and goes a long with the summer theme. Good job Les!

ATV's and Snow, not always a good combination

Ok I'm bored, and it's too windy and cold to take mom out. This was a trip a couple of weeks ago.
The first one to get stuck in the snow was me. My solution was just get off my atv and walk away. I put 2 other pictures on to show you the snow was up to the fender, but somehow they didn't copy.
Les Had another idea, such as getting the atv out. So thankfully he had a winch and a tow rope.This worked great, and everyone was glad he had them. They used his winch to get mine out.
Les makes a good straw boss telling everyone how to do it. First of all you'd think after the first one got stuck, we would find another way to get up the hill. There were 3 women on this treck too, but we just stayed out of the way and let them have the fun.
We all got out safely, and Les was trying to figure out how to get his new tow rope clean again. Seriously he was!

Sometimes you just have to get rid of things

This is actually a house, not a store or a museum in Idaho City.

It looks like the guy actually lives in his RV next to this place.

You can see through the windows, there is just as much inside as on the outside.

He has "keep out" and "do not trespass signs" all over. I'm sure he could make good money by charging to go inside. He could probably make really good money if he sold it all. It's all antiques.
