Vacation Project

My husband likes to take a good chunk

of his vacation off during this time of year.

This year was no exception.

He has nearly 2 weeks off (including the weekends)

and it will so nice to have him home for all those days!

This year he has a special home improvement

project he will be working on.

When we moved into our home nearly 10 years ago,

we eyed the half-wall between the living room

and hallway as a possible place for storage in the future.

10 years later, we now have 3 children, we are homeschooling,

and our house with less than 1400 sq. feet is nice and cozy.

That extra storage area idea is now becoming a reality

and it will be great to have a little more storage space.

I thought I would share some pictures of what he started today.

My brother helped out with the work today,

which my husband was very grateful for.

Thanks, Dan! =)

BEFORE

Here's our hallway and the half-wall.

You can see where Gary cut a little hole

in the wall to scope out the inside.

AFTER

Here's what the hallway looked like

after Gary and Daniel started cutting.

It's a mess right now, but I'm looking

forward to the end result! =)

Anyway, that's what's going on here today.

I'll post more pictures as we go along! =)

Rejoice!
