Our kitchen progress
DH worked like a dog this weekend. Actually, I think he worked harder than a dog as our dog rarely works; she naps a lot. DH would have gotten all of his "to do" list done if he hadn't have to help the satellite installation guy (but I'm glad he did). - replace the kitchen window with a new more energy efficient one. - rewire all the plugs under the kitchen cabinets so we can plug in appliances. - insulate the walls with fiberglass batting. - install new sheetrock where it was torn out. He only got this 2/3's done. - tape and bed the new sheetrock. He can't do this until all the sheetrock is hung.
And you would not believe how much cooler our house is with the kitchen insulated and mostly sheetrocked! Maybe now I won't spend my afternoons and evenings sweating. Here's a picture of where we are:
I haven't stitched all weekend. But I will this evening and I'll post a picture of progress later this week. Emma says, "Hi!"
Doggies don't have a lot of work to do in kitchens, anyway. Still, your DH seems to have his work cut out for him. So far, it's looking good, so congrats for all the hard work he's done so far.
Howdy! I'm a Native Texan living in Texas with my dear husband (DH) of 25+ years. We share our home with Annie, a rescued Jack Russell terrier. I'm past the half-century mark. My main hobby is cross-stitching. My other hobbies include reading, and finishing and/or staining and/or painting anything DH makes out of wood and brings into the house. I occasionally sew when needed. We live in the country in an old hunting cabin that we're renovating ourselves. We're card-carrying tightwads.

"..he worked harder than a dog as our dog rarely works." Not true! Emma supervises/inspects all work. That looks like hard work to me!
That's a cute pic of Emma. She looks so happy.
