Michelle and I took our yearly trip to Scripps Ranch for the 4th of July parade. This year we brought Benton along. He had fun sitting in the car and waving at the residents as we drove by. The house is moving forward as well. The construction workers installed the door leading out of the shower, a window in the bedroom, and the windows in the kitchen. We are excited about how much light the new windows bring into our living space. We ask the construction workers to save the old window removed from the wall. The window is original from 1937. We are not sure what we are going to do with it, but hopefully it will find a place somewhere in our new home. I painted a blue box on the wall to help us visualize where the doors leading out of the bathroom will be once they are installed. Michelle and I are working on elevation plans for the kitchen. We are looking at different shapes and sizes of cupboards and cabinets. We are excited about the possibilities. My mom and dad mentioned they have an old pot belly stove in the garage. We are thinking it may make for a great addition to our bedroom. We will have to see if it fits the layout. My mom and dad are taking pictures and drawing illustrations to help us get a better understanding of what it looks like. Hopefully it will keep us warm on the occasionally cold and rainy nights we have in San Diego.
