Septic Workers for Hire

Experienced Septic line installers for hire. Reasonable rates. Only work as a team. Call 1-800-NEW-PIPE.

The crew has been working since Friday afternoon and as of Sunday night they have dug 450 feet of 24" X 24" trenches. Several more days of work and the use of a Bobcat should complete the job. The kids all caught on quickly to operating the track-hole although Jansen and Dayton did the majority of the trenching. The other crew members hauled wheel barrow after wheel barrow of rocks ( two dump truck loads) and placing pipes in the trenches. Thanks to Grandpa for his hard work and help too. It has been all hands on deck for this job.

Our new kitchen cabinets were delivered on Friday! The kitchen has taken a back seat to the very necessary septic system work. I am still hoping for the new kitchen to be at least functional by Thanksgiving.

Creative Pet Costumes

Our local Atwoods held its anual pet costume contest recently and the Deal family was very proud of their creative pet owners and cooperative pets.

Below: Olivia's dog, Gloria. She kept this get-up on for over an hour- sunglasses and all.

Landon is a TEENAGER!

I can't believe it but Landon turned 13 yesterday. Imagine my littlest boy a teenager. He posted his birthday wish list on the refrigerator weeks ago to ensure we could not overlook it or misplace it. He is still waiting for the go-cart.

No need to worry. Landon has not grown a beard. He made himself a felt one in honor of his 13th birthday! Very creative. He was thrilled with new camo insulated coveralls as well as a few new tools, and a pellet gun.

Janine's Travel Date!

The plane ticket is bought!! Janine will be back in Oklahoma on November 25! Praise the Lord for the quick visa process. Well, quick compared to how long it could have taken.

Progress

A few pictures of our progress. At this point a lot of the progress is in the form of demolition. The boys are very good at this part of the remodel and more than willing to lend a helping hand.

Remodeling: Bathroom & Pantry

Jansen removing the kitchen cabinets in prep for the new windows. A much larger window will replace the old, small one.

The remodel on our house is coming along very well. So far we have finished the new bathroom and pantry. The ultimate goal is to have a new kitchen, living and dining area in the space that is now occupied by the den and school room. The existing living room will be the library and the kitchen will become the den. Sounds confusing.

The new windows are scheduled to be installed on Thurday and Friday. Pretty exciting! Last week the new workshop was erected.

New Pantry! So pretty and organized!!!!!

New Bathroom...just a few finishing touches to go.

Next time pictures of the workshop and new windows!!!!

Life is good. We serve a good God..One that desires to give His children good gifts. Capturing these moments make me so happy. I love it that the Lord has led us to a place where our lives can have little bit of simple in the midst of a crazy world.
