Stove Problems!

After a long hiatus, it's finally time for some new home improvement!
The stove top stopped working two days ago - lots of gas but no spark! I popped the top and found the source of the problem, the spark unit:




I popped it out and ran off down to the shop to find a replacement...
But not before I put a hot wire down on the bare metal inside the stove! Oops!


The next day: problem solved!

Patio Road

After making the patio, we wanted a way to get there without walking on sharp stones or having to find your shoes every time... the answer? Stepping stones!





Blake found these bricks buried under the gravel along with a welcome mat featuring three puppies in a wagon. It's just DARLING.

Patio Unveiled!

After work it's finally time for the unveiling....



send the dog on first to see if he sinks!


Looks like it can hold a dog & he loves it!



All the Dorés in one spot - that's a solid patio!
