The boys are good, playing out on the porch. I put all their toys out there, because their room is so tiny and it makes the best playroom in the world.

This year's project was the bathroom. Next summer, we are going to put windows in the porch. All the way around. Make it a windowed-in screen porch with a nice door. It won't have heat or air, but it won't be open to the elements either.

I have to keep reminding myself that this year's project was the siding. There are so many things I want to do or have done.

Jr. said if Nana was moving in with us (probably next spring) he wanted to move to the attic. I'd love to rennovate it for him, it runs the full length of the house. But our heating vents are in the ceilings in the upstairs rooms, so that would all have to be re-done. I told him "sure, let me scrounge up about $100,000 and we'll get right on it..."

Nope, next year it's taking out oak trees (trust me g'nad, our property backs up to woods, the deer won't starve), repairing the boys fort (where one of those oak trees dropped a limb on it), putting in a shower downstairs for my mother-in-law (arthritis won't let her climb the stairs) and fencing in the back yard for the dog and boys...

Y'all can remind me about that list this time next year when I'm whining about not turning the garage into a family room or putting the Florida room on the back of the house...

It' prob'ly won't need heat or air, as long as you can open the windows in summer, and close 'em in winter... what side of the house is the porch on? does it get mornin' or afternoon sun?...

looks like a cool place for theboyz to play...
