Gettin' it done!

Taping and mudding and mudding and sanding and mudding again and sanding again.

The dust, oh the dust... it's everywhere!

But, it's worth it!
Texturizing and priming.

We were letting the primer dry when I heard Trevor walk in the room and yell, "Oh, Crap!"

I came running up the stairs to find that Campbell had snuck

in the room and done a little painting himself. Little stinker!

He wasn't too happy about being caught.

Ike winds hit Kentucky

(above pictures courtesy WHAS11 news)

Wow, we had a crazy windstorm Sunday from Hurricane Ike. Winds up to 75mph! Hundreds of thousands are without power in the area and the newest update is they may not get power for up to 2 weeks! Even most hospitals are running off of generators. Unfortunately Louisville sent over 200 power company people down to Texas to help with the Hurricane and now they are trying to get them back.

Lot's of stores are closed including some gas stations so that the stations that are open have long lines. Schools are closed and the report yesterday was that 130 roads were closed because they are blocked by trees and other debris. Power lines are down all over the place. We drove under one today and I was just praying it wouldn't fall on us.

It's crazy around here but we are some of the few lucky ones who still have power and it has been so neat to see everyone out in the neighborhood helping other neighbors clean up the mess.

These are a few pictures of the damage at our house... luckily nothing serious. Mostly just a mess of debris and a few trees and fences down. Our grill has seen better days .

It has also been a good reminder to fill any holes I have in my food storage/ emergency preparedness and I'm finding I have a lot of holes!
