Jack of All Trades
















...and a master of some? Lucas and I have surely learned a lot of lessons along this journey of building our own home. Most have been through trial and error. Thanks to the internet, Lucas has downloaded many an instruction and "how to" video from multiple sites. Lots were helpful; some were, well, what were they thinking?
I realize it has been a while since we have posted new Greene Acres pics and figured it was about time. I've gotten into the habit of posting them on FB and forgetting about the blog. (Which is imported, so FB friends and family just ignore. They are old hat to you!)
To the ever-shrinking (yay!) list of unfinished business, we have been able to cross out the porch railing, carpet/trim in two rooms, and curtains. Thank you, Marmie, for taking time off to sew them. (Twu wuv.) You knew if it were up to me, the poor things would have been hot glued together. Plus, we primed, painted, and even threw in a little wall paper border, and are so glad the painting is over for a long time!
Alright, so the bathroom border turned out a bit girlier than I'd planned (sorry Lukie) but a manly, new use for rebar (porch) makes up for it!

I love the porch/deck! Buddy has always wanted a wrap-around, covered deck, and I've joined him in that desire. Yours is very cool! (I'd say "beautiful," but I din't want to insult the rebar.)

Every time you post pictures I get overwhelmed with thankfulness for what God has given you. He's amazing!
