Almost Complete-part 4

We just have a few more things to put away and unpack...

I need to find my dishes from storage so I can put them in the hutch...

Albert is very excited to have his office back...

Tressa is enjoying having her own space...

It is very exciting to have a new space to go too. Before Tressa moved in, Albert and I had the opportunity to drink coffee in the morning and just visit, it was a nice place to escape. It was a lot of work, but really we enjoyed building it together. We are looking for the right trim pieces and we are going to build shelves in the tv area, also looking for rugs and then I believe it will be completed!! Ha - Probably just in time to put up a Christmas tree! Actually right now we have taken a break from working in the man cave as we have been putting up fencing and doing other things outside. Today we will put together a round hay bale feeder - look for new pictures of the cows and horses to be posted soon!

More of the Man Cave - part 3

My working man! We found these ceiling fans that we really liked from Lowe's and Albert wired the ceiling for them then installed all 3 of them...

We chose some ceiling tiles that have insulation already with them. They were very light and easy to install. We stapled them up...

Part of them are up at this point...

All ceiling tiles are up - ceiling fans are on - this is what the tv area looks like...

More of the tv area and then the little blue corner table that used to be in my grandparents home - it was in their kitchen where we would eat breakfast and lunch - I want to use it to put together puzzles and color with Charley...

Work in Progress - part 2

A garage door before framing...

One of our air conditioners and the back wall...

What a framed out garage door looks like...

A side wall and other items that we had to find a "Home" for because our garage is now a room! :)

The Man Cave Before

Here is our garage - we turned it into a "man cave"...

Because it was the garage, we had to work around so many items that were being stored in the garage...

Albert and Jim framed the garage doors so that they won't open...
More pictures to come...

Working on the Ranch

Yesterday was a really great day! Albert, Brianne, Tressa and I worked on fences and around the Ranch! We have 3 cows now - yeah! Brianne has 2 pregnant heifers and they hang out with our T-Bone. If you have gone to Fonda's blog, you were able to read about our great cattle adventures! The cattle have all settled in now and are taking over the horse pasture until we can fix more fences and move them into their area.

Albert and I are going to go into business with Brianne. We are going to change up our ranch name to include Brianne - so our new name will be The Last3 Goode Ranch! I thought it was catchy! :)

We want to raise pure bred Brangus - they are very hearty beef cattle for our area - heat tolerant as well as bug resistant! Gotta love genetics - Brangus are a mix of Angus and Brahmas!

I love feeding time. I have the cows trained to come when they hear my hitting the metal scoop around their food bowl. At first they were very nervous to be around us, now they are calming down and getting used to us.

One cow is due in January and one in March - I will be taking pictures - you can count on that!

Yesterday, I went out to feed and had Tressa holding Charley so that he could enjoy the moment. He was actually able to pet T-Bone, what a smile on his little face.
