SOMETHING NEW AT SAWYERS RIDGE!!

Things have changed a tiny bit at 25 Jackson Circle .. we got a storm door installed at the front today!!!  We got the door at Lowe's and had them install it ..

 

 

This is a really neat door .. when you slide the top window down it unrolls the screen from inside the top edge of the door .. and when you pull that window back up .. the screen rolls back up inside again!!!   It's amazing what people can figure out to do nowadays!!! 

 

 

Now we'll be ready for cold weather as soon as they finish our fireplace so the gas company will turn the gas on!!!

Sad to say the fireplace still isn't finished .. we have discovered that Steve from Hopkins Carpet is the one responsible for seeing that it gets done!!  He says there are 4 villas that need the fireplace finished and they can't finish them until the gas company does something called a "fireup" .. they can't do that until all 4 places have the gas ran to them .. and his people can't finish the fireplaces until that is done!!!  However, he went to the basement .. there is an on/off valve on the gas line to the furnace and another on/off valve to the gas line on the fireplace so he says we CAN use the furnace if need be.  Think I'll call the gas company before turning that gas valve on just to be sure!!! 

 

Steve is also the one responsible for the kitchen cabinets .. he finally got the cabinets doors switched out .. and has now put the knobs on the drawers but the screws that came with drawer pulls were not the right length so will be back Tuesday to finish that job.  He still needs to put a threshold between the kitchen and the dining area and put a mirror in the bathroom basement. 

 

We do have 1 improvement since the storm door .. Ken and I went on a little "adventure" last week and when we came back they had started the landscaping in the front of the house!!!! 

  



 

  

The guy came back a few days later and put in two more plants and mulched it ..

 



 

 The plant on the left is Spirea .. the middle two are Box Woods .. the next on is Ken's Bonsai Tree he sat in there .. LOL!!!  The one on the right is a Crepe Myrtle .. I love Crepe Myrtles!!! 

 

 

 I stuck my Butterfly plant in the left corner and my heart with the pot of Petunias in the middle!!  I'll be changing those Petunias out for Mums shortly and probably stick a pot of Mums in the corner where the Butterfly plant is too!!!  Ken is going to put some Windsor blocks around the outside edge .. I think that will set it off very neatly!!! 

  

 

That's it until something else gets done!!!!
