Helping Mom & Dad with the House Projects

Sorry it has been so long again since our previous post. The last five weeks has been busy with us trying to update and repaint our living room. You can see more pictures of before and after shots at the Our House Project link in the right hand pane. You'll then have to click on the Interior Projects Link to see the photos and get all the project details. These are just a few shots of Bently and Keira helping out. Bently has thought it to be very cool that the living room has been all taped up with no furniture. We would take his balls of all sizes in there and kick them around while laughing hysterically. He did at one point lose his 10" Superman ball down the HVAC air intake, which we had the vent off for repainting. It rolled like a roller coaster all the way down under the house through close to 35 feet of duct work to the outside unit at the back of the house. He was very sad. He kept returning to the vent looking for his ball, and would cry when he could not get it to come back. Despite Dad's best efforts I could not retrieve the ball alive. He had to kill Superman with a razor blade duct taped to the end of a broom handle so that he could pull it out of the HVAC unit. Mom was the real hero when she found a few weeks later the same Superman ball at the grocery store. The vent is now properly covered. Keira on the other hand does not have a preference between cherrios and paint chips for snack time it seems.
