Daddy didn't insulate the house when he built it, so we are doing that going back. It's not that expensive and will hopefully help our utility bills. To be such a small house, it is really hard to cool. Heating is not as difficult.
A friend of his knew someone who was thinning out some wild hogs and brought 2 to him. He dearly loves sausage. We've only replace a couple of things since the flood, our bed and 2 recliners. Yes, we live in an empty house. It goes a long way in helping change your view of your life.
Anyhow, when he received these huge beautiful pigs we knew we had to replace his grinder. He took time off from the house to have some fun.
Sausage and snack stix.
Look at that face. A much needed vacation from work on the house. FYI - he was still working but spending a lot of time at the smoker.
When daddy built this house it was a built as they had money. They moved in before it was completed. My sis said at first mom didn't have a kitchen. Stove, fridge, water, but no cabinets. When we started pulling the upper cabinets down we found this wallpaper. It was behind the cabinets and the wood veneer.
I was kind of surprised to see wallpaper. If money was tight I wouldn't think they would spend money on wallpaper. But maybe daddy wanted to give Mom something pleasing to look at until she had proper cabinets.
When they had money, dad hired a carpenter to come in and build cabinets for moma. Typical 50's house. Vinyl counters and wood veneer on the upper walls.
When we pulled this down we found unblemished shiplap.
I had better go and get some more work done.
Find the sunshine and enjoy it.
