Here's a look at some of the things going on around the house.
Laundry Room Paint Job
Before, the laundry room was just plain off-white. Since we like the islands, we decided to go with a Caribbean theme. We bought sponges shaped like animals and trees at Hobby Lobby.

The Pond Project-from-Hell
![]()
For about a year, Dave wanted to put a pond somewhere in the yard, but was warned about the maintenance and general upkeep. He didn't listen and bought a barrel liner on close-out from Builder's Square for $7. The hole and installation wasn't much trouble. Finding a fountain we both liked was. We found a turtle fountain, but the hose and hole to connect the hose two did not match. Everything from tape to caulk. Nothing worked. Finally Dave bought a different hose and it seemed to work ok. We'll see....
Update 9/1 - The pond is functioning fine. Thanks to all for your letters of support.
