Well our Windows Vista has been to the computer hospital. And it seems that I can't rearrange these photos.
The story of this yard improvement is this is a covered bridge that Beepa gave us for our yard . It was built over 30 years ago by a gentleman selling his wood crafts along the Kangamangus Highway in NH. After years of wind and weather the cedar shingles
were rotting so I got new shakes and reroofed the covered bridge myself. Teresa and Jason helped too. I got to use Danny's nail gun (I love it). And the cats have a new perch.

Well Jason parents got down to NC for a week long visit.
We really enjoyed their stay. Mom and Dad got to come over from AZ and stayed a week.
While Dad was here he and I tackled enlarging the pantry doorway from a single door.
Before
After
Relocating the header support beam.

Widening the door frame.
Painting the trim. Note the new pull out drawers in the center of the shelves
(Long story short, Deb got the shelves on sale
and never measured the approx width of the new opening for bi fold door,
So to use them up we improvised and installed them anyway)
They work :)


And hanging the new bi-fold doors!

Just love it.
It may not look like much to you guys but it's a huge improvment for the cooks in this family!
Dan's job has assigned him temperaryly in Bangor, ME for about one month.
Then his next job is closer to home.
Kathy is coming home tonight from ME from a week long vacation for a friends wedding.
And Cortney turns 23.
Happy Birthday Bear!
