52 hike challenge #26 (and household updates)

Quick weekend update!

We spent lots of time with the kits, who are now nearly as big as their mom:


I also FINALLY organized the under stairs storage that Mike built for me many, many moons ago:


Wine, beer, white claw, and ginger beer :)

Mike and I also re-installed the solar panels next door, now that the pole is secured in the new concrete we poured:
It looks crooked, but it is 100% upright from every angle!


All of our exterior doors have silver knobs, but for some reason the interior knobs are all gold. Blech. So I bought a can of spray paint and attempted to update/upgrade them on the cheap:



So much better!!!

Rose and I went on a hike together before the rain started. Just my little out and back.



Even Bart came with us!

But the MOST exciting part of the whole weekend was that we installed my new loft doors!!!!! It was incredibly hard work and I think Mike was ready to throw them out the greenhouse window at a few points, but they are incredibly beautiful and I absolutely adore them!!!




I will post more updates on they are painted, and the drywall is up, and the bookshelves are in... But for now I am just so appreciative of Mike's hard work (and my parents' generosity) because I am loving the direction my loft is headed!!
