Doglovers- We finally found a final resting place!
Comments (16)Golddust- It was actually Carr-Feeley. When we took him there in 95 we went all the way to Milk lake. We got a late start this time and with the kids we did not want to hike too long so we only went two miles in. We have been doing a lot of day trips checking out places to camp more rural so pup can practice running free and returning on command. He had his first campout up at Sterling. There is a free area that used to be a real campground. Has portapotties and the areas are marked quite well but you can pull in anywhere you like. We went a little deep into woods and had a blast. We like Sardine but cannot take dog within 100yds? or so of water so we would have to stay at one of the primitives up the road and dh would have to go alone to Sardine. Last year we drove all around up there and fell head over heals. We took our huge ram 1500 truck up the logger road above emerald lake. We did not make it up to the lookout tower. Truck was just too huge to go that far for me. We spend vacation time down at Convict Lake and drove our new jeep up the 4x4 trail to laurel lakes. We did not have pup because we continued to Utah and they do not allow dogs in National Parks. We plan to go back to Convict with him though later on. His first big adventure was the long bumpy road to Bowman. Talk about a road needing some pot holes filled. It was really pretty up there. Once we aired down the tires it was much more pleasant. Doggy did not mind. Top down and ears flapping in the wind. What more could a pup want. It is amazing how much love a dog, or even a cat, can bring to our lives. This pup has been so much more work than our first buddy. Temperment is so much stronger. And being 17 yrs since we have had to raise a pup this has been a long 9 months. Dh is really having fun taking him to obedience classes. Due to schedules I took our first buddy and that was not good. He did fine but really needed my dh. This pup knows who his alpha is and they are really enjoying the process. Our first was an american with showdog parents. He naturally pranced and was so sweet but did have major separation anxiety when we ever parted. This one is a german who has an intense prey drive- just ask the chipmunk he nearly caught last weekend in the woods. He is one of the top jumpers in class so far and dh really looks forward to doing agility. He would do good with protection training but that is not my big thing. Dh would like to get the shutzen, whatever thingy. He has potential. I still have my Kiki girl's ashes. She passed a few years ago. Indoor kitty so I think she will stay with me until I pass. She was my heart and soul. I miss her meow so much. Having her spend her last night in my lap, letting out one last meow which she had not done in weeks, purrrrr love until the end. I could fit her ashes box inside the box of my shephards. She was tiny. But then again he was huge. DD seems fine with the weekend. She will be glad she went but I will never make her feel bad for not being able to participate. Being there was important enough. I started a shadow box for my dh's office. It is our buddy's collar with the tags dangling down. Inside the circle of the collar I am going to put the picture we took that day at the lake. It is dh's favorite. It is of him and his buddy-best-buddy sitting on a huge rock beside the lake. I will wait a while to give it to him, dh is a pretty quiet guy and now would be too soon. Thanks for all the lovely comments, it truly was a love story to share....See MoreI think we found our countertops!!
Comments (16)i like the first 2 slabs!! i also like the idea of island polished and perimeter honed. one star, one 2nd fiddle if you will. i don't think the honed black granite is really a "star", it will play quietly with the quartzite in a wonderful supporting role!! agree with karin_mt, do the test!! also agree to get samples first for the BS. everything looks different once installed in your kitchen and with your lighting, not the stone yard's....See MoreThings we found during demo of a 110 year old kitchen
Comments (6)Old novelty bottles, notes, and a gun. We gave it all to the woman next door. It was her childhood home and we bought it from her mother. She said they always wondered if the story about a gun being in there was true!...See MoreHelp! What to do with historic bathroom tile floor we found.
Comments (9)After doing some research... what about using Ditra over the oldest tile after filling/leveling any cracks with thinset mortor? We plan to use small porcelain pennytile. The Ditra is 1/8" and says it "uncouples' the surface from the substrate. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Schluter-Systems-Ditra-54-sq-ft-3-ft-3-in-x-16-ft-5-in-x-1-8-in-Thick-Uncoupling-Membrane-DITRA5M/100143471 UPDATE— nevermind about this. pennytile doesn't work on Ditra. not enough support for tiny tiles. "Don't do it. I've seen hexes set over Ditra, with the flat trowel the day before method. The result? Lots of busted grout joints, and hollow sounding tiles. Seen the same with 1x1 and 2x2's also." Middle of the night research doesn't pan out. This is going to be much harder than the powder room unfortunately. We demo'd that room down to the studs but the substrate was just plywood. 😣😩...See Moreloisflan
