Leaded glass

I have been a big fan of leaded glass since the big trip to the U.K. So one day M and I went to a stained glass shop to see how much a leaded glass window would be. We must have gone to a high end glass shop because wowzee! wowzah! - that's a lot of money. So I thought, well someday when I write my best-selling novel, I'll get leaded glass windows.

Then the other day we went to the home improvement store and found some window film that looks like leaded glass, and it was only $20. So we bought some and this is what it looks like. I'm pretty pleased. Not exaclty the same but it gives the effect.

Home Repair Fever

We've got a fever and the prescription is more.... home repairs

My brother and his wife installed this new door for us. They even made sure that the old decrepit wall next to the door wouldn't fall down.

Then my other brother and his crew framed our basement the other day. Its so exciting to think that soon we will have a finished basement and I won't have to walk through spider webs when I go down the hall. We're getting closer all the time to being finished. Thanks to our handy families.
