The Grand Hotel is Open!

We got the storage unit cleared out and moved into Beau's new place on Grandview

The kitchen, with a fresh coat of paint and Aunt Barbra's dishes

Cheers to the next chapter

Yep, it should fit

Justin was a great helper

All moved in for the summer solstice

 

FATHER'S DAY 2025

My father James Allen (Jim) 26 

JULY 1943 in Stockton CA 

moms note on the back of the picture said "in GI shorts"

 

Me this morning in Kuhl shorts

We had a few yard work projects to work on 

before we head up to work on the kitchen cabinets 

• The two who made me a father 
• are hard at it once again.
• We're getting so close

 

Prep and Plant

We've been busy prepping the front porch

cracks are filled, we've just got to choose a paint color

Nazhoni watches all the action along Gandview ave

I did a little retaining wall work

Susie and Beau took a break from all the painting in the bedrooms 

to planted basil and some buzz berries

I took a break with Nazhoni

 

We Got Some More Done, With a Little Help From Our Friends

I must admit  I've only been putting about a half a day in at the Grand Hotel

While Beau and Susie have been putting in full days 

I did mow both lawns today and they both look good if i do say so my self

Beau has been cleaning and preping rooms

It was a great help having Cindy help paint them master bedroom 

 

Progress and pets.

I brought Nazhoni up with me today

Dog tired

Another room painted and still smiling

The Edge

Thumper and his brother are hoppy to be living under the deck

Inside / Out

Susie and Beau worked on painting the living room 

Lots of trim and prep work

Making progress

All smiles

I worked outside on the front porch 

And scraping on the back deck

Back at it tomorrow

 

Welcome to the Grand Hotel

Beau is back!

We took Seth on tour.

Weeds pulled

Carpet on the porch has been removed

New mulch laid down

We found a sidewalk buried under the wood mulch
