Attack (and Demise) of the Ants



Hi All --

Here's the latest with the house!

CARPENTER ANTS!!!!
. Yep, we have ants. Yippee doo.
. After a big rain storm one night, we went outside and low and behold, there were ANTS crawling up the side of our house!
. We deteremined they are coming from a tree near by the house.
. Adam's dad came over with some "special" spray and sprayed around the whole house and the tree.
. The ants seem to be gone, and we are find ant carcasses and drunken ants here and there. It is really thrilling. But hey, at least they are dead and/or almost dead. That is better than lots of live ants.
. Adam's dad has more spray so he will be back in a month or so.

YARDWORK
. Here are some pics of my man mowing the lawn. How manly.





UPSTAIRS CEILING
. Adam decided to get rid of some ceiling tiles upstairs. Here are some pics of the demo. We'll need to put some new dry wall up here.










OFFICE
. The office is finally furnished! We made a trip to Ikea over the weekend and bought some stuff.
. Everyone helped to put together the crazy swedish furniture. See pics below.










. And here are some pics of the before...



. and after! I need a rug maybe....







FLOWERS
. And lastly, here is a pic of me in front of some flowers in our back yard. AHHHHHH :)




That's all folks!
