Every day, we're trying to make progress. We're almost finished with the green wall in the kids' room. (Our daughter wanted "greenery EVERYWHERE for the kids' room. 🤣) We still have the wizard tree man on the back door of the kids' room. We don't want to scare young children but he looks so perfect there! TBD on what we'll end up doing with him. The counter edges are now routed. Next for the counters is sanding and staining. The window bench has been stained, polyurethaned and installed. And the final wall has been enclosed to the primary bedroom. More to come soon!

Well, don’t use a battery powered planer for an electric planer’s job. 5 batteries died and the planer overheated only to get to this point. Randy made progress on the outdoor dining table nonetheless. He may just end up with a new planer before this project is finished! 😂
