We’re on the last stretch as we watch the finishing touches bring our home together.

Earlier in the week the guys were finishing up work on the drywall

While the crew outdoors did their thing

Hubby had the day off today and we made a lot of rounds. We spent time at the house, the flooring place and then drove out to visit the man making the mantel for the fireplace.

First stop was at the house – the walls were completely prepped for paint and the flooring was well underway.

After we wrapped things up at the house, we drove over to the workshop of the gentleman building the mantel. As we drove up through his yard, I was in awe of the lovely setting. He had lots of barns and silos, old tractors and trucks

and such a pretty view with a nice crop of corn

But the thing I really fell in love with is Mack, he stole my heart.

He was big yet gentle and greeted us as we pulled in.

Hey Mack, I really like you and wish you tons of fun on this great farm.

Where tools abound

But the thing I wanted most, was to steal Mack away.

He was such a lovable pooch. Of course I realize Mack has nothing to do with finishing touches, but I got sidetracked, it’s what I do sometimes.
