Progress is slow and sometimes not so steady

It has taken us four and one half years (this is not including the 18 months when we were living in Russia) to finish sealing the holes in the ceiling on the second floor. Now all we need to do is sand and paint. By the way, the hole in the ceiling over the staircase was quite a challenge with a ladder.

Potatoes

We haven't had much luck in grow vegetables since we have lived here, but this year we tried to grow potatoes in a large flower pot and yes we were somewhat successful. It was exciting to finally be able to grow something.

We are back!

After living in Russia for 18 months we are back in the swing of working on the house. I will need to restore the pictures that were lost from previous posts and start to post new pictures.

Good old Google

Well if you haven't already discovered something has happened to 99.99999% of my pictures. Who knows what happened or how it happened but over time I will restore the pictures. Be patient with me there are some 600+ pictures.
