The most important is my patio. I never really wanted a patio, and if I was picking a spot for a patio, it would be somewhere near the kitchen. But my husband likes split levels. So there is absolutely "near the kitchen". But what we did have were 2 two-car garages and 1 two-car carport. No one needs that many vehicles. And DH is *NOT* a car guy. So they were filled with *stuff*. You know, the *stuff* that needs to go to the dump or the Goodwill. So you put it in the garage until you have time to get it all loaded and dropped off. So the carport is coming down. And I'll have a patio whether I want one or not! I don't have a 'before' picture handy, but since Friday, that is what we have been working on!

| After stripping the lights and electrical. |
So we learned about turning off and disconnecting electrical. And had a grand time getting the lights out! That mostly S1 and me, with the others upset because they couldn't reach the lights to help get them out.

| The pile of shingles. |
Stripping the shingles and felt paper went pretty fast. The kids were very proud of the pile that resulted! It was somewhat like jumping in leaves. I was pretty sure jumping in it like leaves would have been a bad idea!

| It'll be a nice, sunny patio! |
I am already planning what I want to do with the patio. It'll be a nice size, with good sun. And DH hasn't had to do anything in this project! Which is good since it's his busy time of year!
I also got some projects done!
I finished the garland for D2. She got really good at weaving in ends when we assembled it! It did come out longer than I had anticipated, which is good, since she ended up wanting long enough to go around the room!
I made a dishcloth in MY favorite color. I'm sure it'll get lost as soon as it goes through the wash, LOL!
And I made myself a dress. DH really likes it, and D2 wants when I grow out of it. So it's a winner all around!
This week I want to finish taking down the carport. Aside from that, I don't know!
