Ok, so Alison is only here for 3 minutes and my dad puts her to work !!! Dad & Ali put together a base cabinet for the kitchen and Alison proceeded with telling my dad the best way to put the cabinet together even though this was her first one!! The funny part was that she was correct and dad was having difficulty reading the instructions :) I guess dad needs a new prescription for his glasses. So it's official though, Alison has a position with Davis Construction should she ever become unemployed...or if she wants to improve her standing with the new construction company she is now working for. Well although My Sunshine arrived, she definitely brought with her some beautiful big snow flakes! It has pretty much snowed since my dad and Ali have been here. Last night and this morning produced some very large flakes, the kind that float and almost seem to fly! Although it would have been nice to have spring weather to show my pops and Smalison around d-Town it is also fun to hole up in the newly improved house and watch a movie and drink hot coffee!
As far as work goes, we created what dad was calling "an instant kitchen"! Just add water he said and kazam! There it was...a new beautiful kitchen!! Well what he was referring to was that after removing one of the windows that was in the way (the old bathroom window) and closing up the wall; installing a pretty new hood-vent and all the upper wall cabinets, it really did look like an "instant kitchen"! It's funny cuz dad wanted to remove that window when he was here last time, but I talked him out of it saying that it would take too much time and now that it's done and the cabinets are in place....i was very foolish to have ever said anything other! The kitchen really does look smashing! :) I hope you can get a small glimpse of what it feels like now.
Love the d-Team,

Ok so dad actually did this the first day he was here, but we forgot to mention it :) This is the water main coming into the basement and it was so corroded and prone to a leak that we couldn't leave it for fear that it would eventually rupture and flood the basement. This picture shows the old being held up on the right and the newly installed with ball-cock valve on the left.
Alison just arrives! :)
So you can't work without your safety glasses! no matter how silly it makes you look :)
This is the cabinet that dad & Ali built and modified to fit around the beam support. Notice Ali in action putting the newly modified drawer into place!
Dad & Willie standing in front of where the old bathroom window was! Proud of their accomplishment.
Now they are holding up the old window!
Ali & I posing a nice sweeeet sleep! Here dad is blurry cuz he would not stop laughing! We tried to take the picture several times and the lighting was so low that we had to open the shutter for 13 second and it was the funniest thing because dad was like a little kid that could not help himself!
Dad & Alisooon were the first up and you can tell that she was really into his conversation! Maybe cuz she was waiting for all of us to wake up for over 2 hours.
Hopefully you can see the pretty snow outside while we wake up and enjoy coffee and conversation!
