Today after a morning of raking and cleaning up the mess our oak trees leave, Jen decided to dig out her old Sea World wetsuit and take another dip in the now balmy 59 degree water! The girl is still crazy!

Yesterday was the final day of the screen enclosure installation and the excitement is infectious!
Here is a great shot of the reason we need a screen! The oak trees are starting to shed, and this is a one day accumulation! Once the oaks are done, we'll always have the Cypress, Hickory, Sweetgum, and Sycamore which will add support to the decision to screen!
This is a view of our new backyard! It certainly has changed in 16 months!
This is the first morning for everyone to check out the new freedom of the screened area. The weather has been so nice today that I propped open the side door and let everyone come in and out as they pleased. The dogs should be exhausted by this evening because they haven't slept at all! In and out, in and out! Marnie, our gray cat, spent the day chasing the sunbeam all around the patio!
Chillaxin' by the pool...
This is our new view from the living room. Wow! We had no idea it would look this great. The lines from the screen help to add a modern clean line flair that totally compliments the look of the house in general. Bonus!

Did you enjoy those pictures? Good, because that is all you will see for another week or more. Everything you see in these pictures is now gone, because they measured wrong. So everything got taken away and they are supposed to restart in a few days. Sigh. Stay tuned.

One of the doors out of the enclosure will open onto the grassy area right about where Mason is laying.

The water is slowly clearing up. We have had lots of rain lately, so the pump is working overtime to catch up.
We had today off for the Martin Luther King Holiday, and decided to get a few things done. Here we are removing the railing from the balcony in preparation for the screen enclosure.
Someones excited about the new tools Santa brought her!
Jen had a great idea to mount the cherry block on top of a stainless steel table and use it as a vanity instead of our initial choice of floating it on the wall. We think it is going to be fabulous! What do you think? The next task is picking out a sink and fixture.
So this is where the bathroom is at the end of the day! It is shaping up!
Oh! One last thing! We managed to find handles that fit our vintage plumbing, so that means we can now shower in this piece of art!
