A Maze of 2 X 4's



Here's another video of the Horsecreek House in progress. It's May 5th, and they're almost done framing the first floor. Leslie is doing the monologue!

Help Help Help

We need another new home for Turk! His relationship with us isn't working out because he is afraid of Jack.
He has many great qualities:
  • He's very friendly
  • He's a great guard-dog
  • He's house-broken
  • He loves to be inside, and is okay with being outside too.
  • He loves attention
  • He minds well and doesn't stray far when he's outside
  • He is handsome
Here are his vitals: 45lbs, male, 3 y.o., tan/russet coloring.

Call us or email us if you're interested. We want him to go to a good home and we'll help you out as much as possible! See our previous blog entries for some pics of him.

Hot!

This video isn't very exciting or hugely funny, but along about 22 seconds or so, pay attention to Jack. This was at Ichiban, a Japanese grill restaurant (for Leslie's birthday) a couple of weekends ago. This is what Jack is supposed to do with hot stuff... "Blow on it."

Concrete Slab is Poured

So, in only a few days, we've gone from an empty lot with loads of weeds to this! The concrete foundation is poured and curing, and the water works are imbedded. It's really looking good. (The audio for this video doesn't work-sorry!)

PROGRESS!!!

This is the first in the series. We went to see the site on Saturday, and they actually had done a lot of work! It was a very exciting moment, and very encouraging. You'll be able to see that the foundation is coming along, and the footprint of the house is solidly on the ground. Please forgive me for the running commentary.

Turk - Marley's Husband

Turk is a different name. We're not sure yet if we think it fits him, but he's a good dog, and now-he's our dog! Thanks to Rob and Christen for giving us their first baby. Even though we're in-between houses right now, Turk is a good fit for us, and hopefully will be a good buddy for Marley. He is 3 years old (Marley is 4). He's been around a small child for a couple of years. He's a hound mix and is the same weight as Marley. Whereas she's a bit longer and taller that him, he's a bit more muscular and thicker through the chest. Marley was pretty possessive of her territory, but overall they played well together and it wasn't bad for the first day. Turk is the exact color of Marley's legs, so I'd say he's tan, almost russet.
Here's a couple of pics..I'm sure better ones will follow.
