One awesome,busy, wild, exhausting week

Mitchell and Mark helped to put in French Doors where our sliding glass door use to be. They turned out looking so nice. We really appreciated their help.
The French Doors look GREAT!!!

This is quite a way to spend your vacation. Janessa's girls were great about it and even helped out. Lindsay was quite the sander.


Janessa has wanted to refinish our cabinets for years. We decided this would be the year we'd go for it. We appreciated Janessa and Mitchell's expertise. Janessa all prepared for the tons of sawdust.



Mitchell and Doug hard at work.

This was quite the project and we were all determined to get it done.


Janessa really going at it.


Doug was covered in sawdust but determined to as much done that day as possible.


At Pismo we were spending the day relaxing and taking it easy. Lindsay and Ashley excited to surf.

Lindsay took to surfing like she had been doing it for years. It was fun watching her catch the waves.


Ashley by a huge jelly fish. When we arrived at the beach their were a lot of small jelly fish all over the sand.


Hailey loved standing in the ocean and the strong waves hitting her legs. She also had fun in the sand.


We had a great time enjoying the ocean and sand at Pismo. It was almost a perfect day weather wise. Two days later we heard it was 107. That would have been miserable.


Mitchell, Lindsay and Ashley having fun on Pismo Pier.

San Luis Pier, the water was beautiful and so are the group in front of it.

Fun at Morro Bay.


Janessa relaxing and enjoying Morro Bay.

I had Janessa try the stain in the bathroom in case we made a mistake. They turned out great once she did some mixing. We came up with a new stain color we should market it as the Couch Stain.


Doug is staining the last two drawers and we'll be done.


Our beautiful final product! They look like new. Thanks Janessa & Mitchell.

HORRAY! The cabinets look beautiful. I am so glad that they are finally done and you can relax the rest of the summer, I guess you still have cabinet pulls to put on that we totally forgot about. OOPS. I wish that a before picture would show just how different the cabinets look now, but the camera could not catch it. We had a great time! Thanks and we love you and cant wait until we see you soon.
