And vacation is over 🙁  However we did end the vacation with a pretty productive weekend which is always good!

Saturday I got the rest of the gym and bathroom touchups painted so they are both done except for doors.  Ryan continued to lay decking and got all the way to the post on the other side of the door!  Even in the cold!  Sarah came up for a stitch and to meet Fitz.  He slept while we stitched and chatted 🙂

Around dinner time Ryan called it quits on the deck and after dinner I put together the wall hanging for my sister’s nursery (I have to applique animals still but the top is pieced now!).  So very productive.

Decking across the front door now!

Sunday was a beautiful day (very warm), so we did a nice long walk and since it was my birthday we worked on the cabinet/entertainment center I want to build for the gym!  We got the box cut and put together!  This picture of it is actually upside down because the top will be like a counter made of poplar.  We still have to make the front face (stiles/rails) for it and then a drawer and feet.  Finally it will be painted.  It will hold the receiver, dvd player and have a drawer.

After a break we decided to sand the decking and get it ready to stain, of course after sanding it, it started to rain so we covered it with a tarp again until better weather 🙂 We ended our vacation with some P&P on dvd, it was a great birthday!
