It has been so hectic around here. Sherri is gone so if we need something from the store I have to go with June or Jim so we will get the right thing. Not that they can't do it but it helps if someone goes that knows what you need and know what it looks like. Hey they are learning...I'll have to say that.
Today I start wiring the lights in the closet and then the shelves and finally the doors go up. I am coming to the end of this project...right on schedule too. We have added projects to the original list as we go but still we have managed to stay on the plan and get the things done that we needed to complete. When Sherri and I leave they will be on their own to paint and finish out the little things that will be left.
Overall it has worked out real well. You know in remodeling or just plain fix up work you always run into problems that were not seen in the initial planning. In this project, however, we have had little surprises and very few slow downs. I am happy the way it came together and I think that Jim and June are pleased with the outcome.
Jim and June have been so gracious to us. Yes we are down here to help them but they have gone overboard in trying to make our stay as comfortable as possible and have seen to our every need. Thank you both for that.
Ok I have downloaded some pictures to show you all the progress. Many of you who have been here to their house will recognize some of the shots here and see the new items we have added. I hope that you enjoy seeing them as much as Sherri and I have enjoyed building and installing them. It is time to ride the wave out of here for now but I will see you...
Somewhere in Time
This is the boat dock that was under water about 6 feet to be exact.
June's new front wall and door. This wall was blown out by the water surge so it had to be rebuilt
View from the inside with the new closet on the right still needing trim and shelves. Also I am installing lighting in the closets.
There will be three closet doors and shelves in two of the closets and a clothes closet on the far right.
This is Jim's new office wall and T111 siding to finish out the inside. He will leave it unfinished
This is looking at the closets from the front door back toward the stairs that go up to the second floor. This area will also have the T111 siding but it will be painted a color.
This is the new bedroom ceiling. The old one had caved in due to a roof leak. Sherri painted the ceiling and did the trim out....Good job baby!! June you have to do the rest I know you can.

You've come a long way, GOOD JOB!! Thanks or the pictures.
I know June and Jim have appreciated everything you have done. They are lucky to have you guys to help them get things back in order. I also, can't imagine having to come home to what they saw. Give them both hugs for us.

Dearest Uncle Jo Jo and Aunt Sherri,
Angels don't always come with wings in our world. God certainly must be proud of his own building skills when he built our family. He gave us all loving, dependable, kind and sharing family members we can always depend on. We want to thank you so very much for all the wonderful work you have done for our Momma and Daddy. I don't think anything will stand out any greater in my mind and nothing will be more important to teach my children than how our family comes first. You exemplify that.
God Bless You Both!
I love you!
Tracy
