Like many projects on a honey do list, they get started with good intentions of finishing within a couple of weeks, and instead a couple of months go by. Zane tries hard to get done with everything, but he is just too busy sometimes (Sometimes? Most of the time!). We had some water damage on our outside wall. Zane and my dad started working on it in September and then Zane started helping a neighbor rebuild a roof along with other men from our church. The roofing project took longer than they thought, and all of sudden it's October and our back wall project was still unfinished. I am sure most families can relate to this. I don't know where our Saturdays go, but Zane rarely worked on the project on Saturdays. Instead to get it done, he did most of the work after coming home from work during the week starting around 8:30-9:00 and working until late. By the middle of November Zane was done with everything and it looks great! He figured out what to do as he went along (with a couple of mistakes). Zane is a perfectionist, so he just keeps working until he is satisfied. Thanks Zane for all your hard work. It looks fantastic!

All Done!
Within three months, Zane has learned the following skills: replacing shingles on a house, replacing sheetrock, and texturing sheetrock. He also replaced the baseboards and the boards around the door.

That's quite the project! I'm very impressed. It's fun doing things yourself but it's always a learning experience, isn't it. Not a bad thing at all!
