Just in case you think that we have been spending our summertime fishing in streams, lazily dreaming, and watching the clouds go by.......think again! We've been working our tooshes off on the Ioka house--inside and outside. We are officially done inside--everything is painted and finished--all new appliances, flooring, doorknobs, new bathroom, new cabinets, new lighting, new doors, carpet, wooden flooring, tile floors, the WORKS! We've put in new windows, two new porches, paving bricks for walkways and a nice new patio in the front, new lighting, covered the two porches, put on a new roof, tore off old porches and buildings, burned TONS of junk, and cleaned out tool buildings. Now we hope to get new siding on before winter comes. I'm pooped just thinking of the hours we've spent on this house. It's a cute house now tho! I'll post some pictures later of the inside and how nice it turned out. We actually just put renters in it last week in hopes that they would keep it nice and warm through the winter and not let any pipes burst. Anyway, it's been a fun project but am glad that we can finally see the finish line!
