Well - we've had some HEAT in the northeast and time has come to install a new air conditioner in the downstairs family room. Normally, this would be pretty straight forward...but this is our project house so there's always a process!
First off, here is the relic that was taken out of the wall:
This also shows the saw (new tool!) that was required to cut the hole in the wall a little larger to fit the new air conditioner. Here's my favorite little worker bee as he works on this monster project - and yes that is a hole in our house straight to the back yard.
and the final installation: our new energystar-big enough to cool the whole downstairs-supercool new AC...
we also have some lovely rhododendrens (how do you spell that anyways??) blossoming in our yard. We still have some surprises coming out in terms of flowers. There are lilies ready to bloom in the backyard and I'm curious as to what color they will turn out! Will have to post new pics when they do...in the meantime, checkout these pinks and purples from our garden 
As a housewarming/anniversary present, the Donahues helped us buy this great patioset at Lowes! We have already enjoyed a number of dinners outside and I like playing on the laptop outside. Wifi is terrific! It's really a great addition to our patio and is making our house into a real home. Come on over - the grill is hot and the margaritas are flowin!
Lastly, the blog wouldn't be compelte without a Sox shot. We have been enjoying this break from school by hiking in Ashland State Park 3-4 times per week. He love to walk, swim, and most of all socialize with all the other dogs he meets there. It's a great place only 5 minutes from our house...free parking, lots of nature and always a smiling puppy when we're done.
Summer is almost here and there should be plenty more adventures to report! We've got a Cape trip planned for the 4th and lots more home improvement projects to keep you updated on. Hope our readers are well!
