Working with Grandpa

 January 23, 2012 - Mom and Dad drove down to Utah to help out with the house.  We got to visit with Mom for a day and then she went out to Grandma's while Dad stayed here and helped us complete some projects.

Paxton is our big helper.  And there's nothing he loves more than working with Grandpa!

 Dad installing new windows in the rest of our main floor.  6 in all.  And together, Josh, Dad and our neighbor Kyle installed our big front window. 

Delivered on the worst day possible...during a freezing rain storm that started just a few hours before the truck showed up to drop it off.

Everything was shear ice.  

 They ended up having to break out the glass to take out the old window.

Our new front window, all installed.

 Paxton was a big help when it came to the floor.  :)

Always on hand with his tools.

 The boys working on our new wood floor.

Thanks to our friend Kyle for helping install that too!

I love our smooth new finished wood floor!

 Also, Dad helped us install our new front door.

Of course we waited until winter for this project...it sure was cold waiting for that project to be finished.

 They let Paxton pound in the pin in the last hinge.

Also, we added the new porch light and a new mailbox. 

I can't believe the difference a new front door can make in the appearance of your home.  I love the transformation!

He just kept saying, "Grandpa I need more mud.  I am a good mudder!"

A big thank you to Dad for all his help in the few days he was here!
