Fencing-Superhero Style

Trudging On
After the whirlwind weekend of painting, I was quite glad to put away the paint brushes for a while. Joe had done a marvelous job on the electric and the HVAC was installed just a few days after Joe finished the electrical. This place was starting to look like an actual house! Look at that […]
