Home renovations day 47...

...I wish I had something new to add.  Oh wait, he did get the last of the drywall up and this week called somebody to come out and quote a job for finishing the seams and texturing the ceiling. At least it's progress. I think he's been a little side tracked about the roof? You know, the night before we left for the Ozarks, there was a BIG storm. In the morning he went out to check the roof and sure enough there were several giant branches strewn about and a couple holes in the roof. Well, of course everyone was going to charge an arm and a leg, so he put on a tempory fix and off we went;

The things that concerns ME the most right now are these;

That is the top of the tree to the left. It's the biggest one yet. We really need to do something about that one.

Anyway...it was a lovely drive once we got out of the city;

Last time we went, we took the long way. This time we went through St. Louis;

And on the way back, we kept seeing these billboards that said, "Candy Factory" and "World's Largest Gift Store" You know I had to stop right?!?!?! The candy store was a bust and the gift shop was fun in a kitschy sort of way. It was pretty dang big!

But there was an * after the word Store and I never did find out what it meant. Some kind of disclaimer I'm sure.
