Lowe's , Kitchen siding going on!

 Tuesday morning we headed to Fernley to visit that Lowe's. We finally decided what wood we wanted for the kitchen and they had it! 

We got there and looked all over and had a couple of associates help us. Two guys who have helped us before found it.  A brand new band of 156 pieces of 1x4x12. They had to get the fork lift and bring it down. These two guys are a really cute team together. 😀 Always happy and smiling. 

60 pieces of wood and some nails for the nail gun $513.00 out the door! Ouch. Definitely would have been more if we'd chosen another wood. We are nearing the end of the most expensive stuff, pavers for the floor will be next. We're talking about having a load of gravel delivered so that'll hurt too 😉

I came out of the house and he had started the wall. I asked him why he was doing the wood that way. He said "I liked the way it looked" I'm like I don't think so. He laughed because he did it so he doesn't have to make a cut on every board. Put the wall up and then use the multi tool to cut them all at once. I watched that and it worked amazingly. The top piece of wood is what the wood will look like once Mother Nature finishes her job! 

We knew when buying this wood their would be some air gaps, but perfection in
the walls isn't what we're looking for. We're looking for character HAHA. 

Yesterday Ken had an appointment for service for the Tundra so we took separate vehicles and stopped at Betsy's Big Kitchen for breakfast. YUM! Dropped the Tundra off and in my car we headed for the hospital so Ken could get a lung X-ray for his appointment next Tuesday. Nothing is wrong, the lung dr just does this every 6 months before his appointment. 

I waited in the car as they're still requiring masks. I can sit in the car mask free LOL.  He was done pretty quickly and they had called saying the Tundra was finished. Picked it up and headed home. 

Ken worked on the kitchen until it time to head next door for Happy Hour with the pups. We came home and had dinner then headed back over to spend the night. 

The side and back work from today. 

Inside looking out...

Today (Thursday) we took it really easy and Ken didn't get started until about 1200 LOL. It's nice and warm but the darn wind is up again. It'll be cooling down starting Saturday for most of next week.

John and Karen made their 1st destination of Durant, OK to see his daughter and meet his 1st grandson in person.

Today I got a picture and a text they made it to Stillwater, OK their next destination. Saturday, John's son Jesse graduates from college. Karen said it stormed all the way but they're safe and sound. 

A fire and a well deserved drink! Enjoy you two! 💖
