Miscellaneous STUFF

We've been working to finish the basement. We've made some progress - but still aways to go. Here is David working to add some circuits. There was only one spare - so we added some doubles to make room for a couple of outlet and lighting circuits in the basement. $30 - 20 minute fix! Yahoo!
While David was working on the new fence for the chickens (see further down) - the girls decided to make some fence posts of their own. Pop would be proud of how his great-grandaughters weilded the tools!
And - holey cow - they're even working together and NOT fighting!
Here is David expanding the chicken yard. The new chicks will need some more space. He got 12 used pallets from work - FOR FREE! As he says, "free, my favorite kind"! I think it looks pretty spiffy - - -and actually, from the house you can't even see it!
Over February break, Gretchen and a couple of friends took a bunch of kids to the NYS Museum. They also took the elevator up to the top of the Corning Tower (the tallest building in Albany). Whatta view!
In February - Ingrid's class sang the National Anthem at the Albany River Rats Hockey Game. The picture is HORRID - but she is on the near end somewhere with her friend Eliza!
And - we did SOME skiing this year. It was very cold for a good part of the year - very icy - and just not enough snow for our taste! Shucks. Better luck next year!
