In between Summer craziness, there's a house that needs renovating.

Lack of time during summertime craziness has stricken this house renovation project.

We celebrated the Fourth of July in Curtis on July 1st.

The very day after a family wedding, we helped the Manistique Lions cook 650 chickens.

 

 

 

We're Petries.....we cook chickens.

 

 

 

If you're in the know, you know.  Otherwise, you're like "say what"

 

 

Infamous Petrie Chicken.

In between chicken cooking, kids being out of school, camping in the yard due to the abnormal high temperatures, visits from family and friends, busy times for RM Petrie Builders, kids being out of school, grass cutting, and did I mention, the kids being out of school, summer has seemed to pass us by.

Our house, has found itself at the bottom of the list.

We have managed to do a little porch sitting every now and again.

Bits of progress has been made.

In my opinion, David and Brady have out done themselves on the porch.

Aaron did a little painting, and it's starting to look finished on the outside.

If I could have dreamed a porch, this would have been it.

I painted "Andy's Shed"

We are keeping this little 'entry' original exterior.

1909

A.G.S.

Since we found a postcard addressed to Andrew G. Strom

We assume these initials are his.  Hence the name "Andy's Shed"

The second floor's electrical is finally upgraded, so drywall could start to be hung.

Trinity's room is drywalled.

Her room has a closet already, it's actually the only room with a real closet.

Brady has Hunter's closet framed in, and his ceiling is drywalled.

Dave will also need a closet framed, as will our room.

Our room is still is discussion as far as layout goes.

But hopefully it will come along soon.

While I am pleased with the entire house, the porch is still my favorite.

Really, what more could I want.
