2016 House Updates

This summer John spent three weeks in Ogden taking college classes for his STEM endorsement and one week in SLC for a STEM conference. I tagged along. But this means that our house projects have been almost nil this summer.

Instead of our house, the faculty room at the school was gutted and remodeled under my supervision. New cabinets, new professional fridge, new carpet, new paint, new tables/chairs..... It looks so much better and much more functional.

This was our hopeful list at the beginning of the year but it will have to wait for another year.
