29. Tile

The backsplash tile has been installed and we are happy. Our Kitchen just keeps getting better and better. I'd like to coin the term "It's money" cause, well it cost a lot of money. Too bad we cheaped out on the utility room to do it. I really should have put sheet rock on those utility walls. Oh well...I’m sure we’ll get used to the breeze.

29. The Pillars

Finally, the pillars have been installed. Looks grand doesn’t it. We hope to put a porch swing under the front porch. So this what its like to grow old. Looking forward to sitting under a porch watching the world go by.

“What have I done today
Just sat and watched the jets fly over
A car goes by
And the sun goes down
We talk about the town”

28. The Sod

Sod. AKA grass. The sod was laid down and is ready for some water. Someday it might rain in Oklahoma again. It won’t matter though cause this grass is Bermuda. This grass is impossible to kill once sunlight hits it. It is very invasive also and will destroy a flowerbed. We lost the battle in our last house and hope to win the war in this one.

27. The Storm Shelter

The Storm Shelter. Yes, in Oklahoma you need some protection from nature's most violent storms, which can produce a tornado. Tornados are destructive and you really need to be underground if one is coming your way. So we had a storm shelter dropped into the back yard. It is rather large as far as storm shelters go. I think I will hang pictures and put a sofa in it and just hang out in it. Or I might even put in surround sound and make it my theater room.
