My brother was out front when I arrived. He told me to park next to his truck so we could take a photo of our "brother and sister trucks." : )
Here's my adorable brother, Steve, and me. He's the one I told you about...remember the story about him letting me tag along on my bike when he went collecting for his newspaper route?
Love you Steve. : )
You have no idea how many photos I have with my mouth wide open.
Speaks volumes huh? : )
My brother has turned into quite the handyman over the years. He learned a lot, a few summers ago, when he helped renovate my mom's house in order for her to sell it.
Up goes the ceiling.
Notice, in the photo above, the fridge placement. The cupboard above the fridge was virtually unusable because of it's location. You'll see later how they solved that problem.
Out go the old cupboards, old linoleum and carpet (which was over the eating area).
My cute SIL, Cindy.
Just can't help himself...always being adorable. : )
Love the beading detail.
Starting to take shape.
Now, the cupboards above fridge are usable. Also, that long slender pantry to the right of the fridge space is full of drawers on rollers. Smart move!
Hey Brother, thanks so much for the hand-me-down shirt. I'm SO stylin' in that outfit!
Be sure to notice the soffit, which makes the ceiling very low and gives no room to display anything above the cupboards.

Steve did an excellent job hiding all the seams in the ceiling drywall. He also learned how to do electrical work from my mom's house.

Now for the CROWNING GLORY! I was with Steve & Cindy the day they picked out their huge slab of granite. What a fascinating experience. An entire warehouse full of slab after slab.

Hi Sis:
Great photo journalism! Love the photo of us as kids.... looks like I probably just whacked you over the head with a stick right before the shot (that's the me I remember...).
Love you,
