Surrender Monkey Door Installed!


Here is the final completed product. The 2x4 across the door was to ensure it didn't blow out while we shimmed it.
If you could read the level in this picture, you would be glad to see we shimmed it just about perfectly.
Below see the original billn preparing. In this picture you can see the original house siding was cedar clapboard. At some point they covered over it with light green aluminum siding. Then they painted it with dark green paint some time later.
Here is the back of the house late in the demolition process, just before we cut the window out.














Do we have a backyard or a junkyard?






Billn, senior daughter E (running a reciprocating saw) and junior daughter A using a hammer. We all work in this family.







Senior and junior daughters became tired, so they rested.

They aren't tired from too much work. They are tired from too much sun and running around our new backyard!!!!

Also, let it be know that Bill N's children INTUITIVELY know what to do with tools. What's up with that? Must be in the genes!

let's hope that, in addition to being tool savvy, bill n's children can learn what the word amortize means. (heh-heh)
