This is what happens when your husband is not working for a month!!

It first started with idea of building a deck. The concrete porch in the backyard was cracked and uneven with an ugly green outside carpet covering it which was there when we moved in. By the time I thought about taking a picture, this is what Curtis had already started.

This is what it looks like after he finished!!
He then decided to put brick on the end of the porch because the door that goes into our den wouldn't be able to open with a deck. This is how it looked before. (Our dog looks pathetic!)

Here's afterward!
So after the deck Curtis still had time off and some money left over so he (I) decided to replace our 25 year-old stove and oven. Here's our stove before:


Here's Curtis in the mix of things!!



Our new stovetop!!

Here's our old oven.

The new one!!

I'm so proud of Curtis for spending all his extra time doing major projects around the house. He is so handy and I am so proud of him. Putting the new oven in was not easy and it took a day of sanding the edges and bruised legs to get that thing it. But it is so worth it!!
