New Roof

The roofing project is complete! We are really happy with the way it turned out. You can't even tell a difference between the old and new shingles. Here are some pictures from the day...



Some of the best help beer can buy!


The Mess...

Yes, it does take Miller Lite, Bud Light and Stag to complete a roof. At the beginning of the night they said they would "rather walk to town then drink Bud Light." As you can see... they changed their minds! ;)

I was going to upload pictures from the kitchen, but my internet keeps going out. Gotta love HTC!

FINALLY closed on the house!

So this is my second post. Remember in the last one I mentioned that we were closing on the house "tomorrow night." Well... we finally really did close last night! It's a huge relief. The buyers actually had to rent from us for 90 days. We were really nervous that the plans would fall through after they lived there for awhile. Especially when we heard that the neighbors aren't particularly found of them. Apparently they have an entire pack of loud dogs. Oh well! We couldn't be picky when it came to the buyer -- we HAD to sell!

Our house project is really coming along. The heating and cooling guy has been working all week to install the duct work. Tomorrow we put a new roof on the garage. After that we move on to hanging drywall and installing bathroom fixtures. I guess we have to buy those things first!

My plan is to post some pictures of our remodeling efforts this weekend.


I went to preview our wedding albums the other night. I think they look so great! It's amazing how fast the past 7 months have gone. We'll be married a year before you know it.

It's craft fair time again! We had our first fair last Saturday. 90 degrees in October...who would have thought! Our next one is in Mascoutah, IL next weekend. Here's a picture of Britt's booth from the Shooting Complex this past Monday.



Happy Friday!

Life since 3/3/07

Life has definitely been busy since we were married on March 3rd. We decided to renovate part of our house, which has been a HUGE project. The kitchen is complete to the naked eye. We still have to put up a few pieces of trim and finish the pantry. The pantry can't be completed until the new closet is finished. We are currently in the process of building the wall for the new bathroom and laundry room now. Our next big project will be putting a new roof on the garage. There is no way we could have done all of this w/o our parents help. It's amazing what they have done for us!

Another exciting thing is that we've finally sold Jay's house! We are so excited! It will be such a relief to not have that hanging over our heads. We close tomorrow night. Can't wait to get that hot little check in our hands!

The Kiefers have a Blog!

I've decided to start a blog. I guess I'll use this blog to share stories about our new life together, as well as anything else that comes up along the way. Thanks for stopping by!
