And this is the deck where the bents (sections) will be raised this morning at 8AM!
The guys are building the bents in this picture - putting all the pieces together so the section can be stood up as one unit!
Obviously we're home with mom who has a project of her own that she's trying to finish before dad gets back home! She's refinishing the kitchen floor! We're pretty rough on a wood floor with our beards constantly dripping every time we drink water and the finish was beginning to wear off and the floor was turning black and mom thought that this would be the ideal time to tackle the floor project!
This is one coat and mom wants to do 3-4 coats before she calls it a done deal! Because it's the kitchen we're hoping that there could be pizza meals or McDonald meals to look forward too! Our paws are crossed for this to happen!We got a postcard from Girl girl and Eil yesterday all the way from Singapore! Thank you so much! We love getting mail from our hammie friend! Mitch is being a real lazy bones in this picture! 
And today we got an adorable thank you note card from Jackson for sending him a birthday pressie! You're most welcome, Jackson! His mom makes these cards! Isn't this just the cutest thing you ever saw? Okay, so I'm being a lazy bones too!
Guess what? We got ice cream tonight!
This Peppermint ice cream is good stuff, mom! Thanks!
So until next time......................
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Woh your dad will sure do a pawsome job on that barn. Oh... i love ice cream, I'm glad you doggies had it.

ReplyDeleteyou are all very busy over there! mitch looks tuckered out from all of the excitement!
that is a huge project. it looks great with even just one coat. dad will be very surprised, and i bet pooped after raising a barn! you all are just very... COOL!

m & e
Your pawrents are both very talented! The floor looks good with just one coat, so it will look really great with 3-4 coats! That's a big project...and our mom would know. She installed and finished our wooden kitchen floor. The finish is the stuff they use in the Hard Rock Cafe. Not easy to work with, but 2 coats have held up to our abuse for 5 years! We love that view that the guys will see while raising the barn! We hope your dad has a lot of fun!

Poppy, Penny & Patches
Oh wow, we got a card from Jackson too. Aren't they neat cards?
ReplyDeleteYour mum's doing a super job on the floorboards.
Hope all goes well with the barn raising.

Hershey and Kaci
Ice cream! So delicious. I'm glad that you got to enjoy some. And I think is perfectly fine for you to be lazy while your people are working so hard to raise barns and refinish floors!
ReplyDeleteYour friend,
Niamh
Ooooh - the floors look great!! We are jealous - can your mom come down here and do mine too??
ReplyDeletePeppermint....myyyyummmmyyy...When muzzer has a peppermint candy, I always give extra kisses. I can only imagine it in ice creaaaammmm....
ReplyDeletegussie
Both your mom and dad are super busy with their projects so I think it's up to the both of you to be lazy for them. Ice cream is always the best. I just had some last night!
ReplyDeletemore ice cream?! Thats it. Your hoomans need to have a word with my hoomans and tell them WHY it is important to my survival that i get some of that ice cream stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou mom and dad are skillful artistic craftman! I love their work. My mom can't even type properly!
ReplyDeleteYou two had fun dressing up Wheelie, hehe!
Ice cream? Somebody mentioned ice cream? Lick! Tasty longy lick!
Your dad sure stays busy with all those barns! I hope you get lots of fun food since the kitchen seems to be offlimits to food work right now. :0)
ReplyDeleteKaos
Wow! You mom and dad are very talented and very busy too. My 2 legged momma would love for yours to help her refinish our floors.
ReplyDeleteOh...and big news. I have a new sister. Willow came to live with us just this week. I love her already.
So until next time, big woofs and slobbers are heading your way from your Newfie pals,
Gabe and Willow
Woof Maggie and Mitch

PeeS... Lazy is GOOD.. it's my favourite pastime!
Your dad is really into barns.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is doing a really good job on that floor. Grammie says we have pergo because it wears like iron. I think she got industrial strength.
Any ice cream is good. We had Dog Zerts from the Schwan man yesterday. Yummy.
yall are so lucky to get yummy ice cream! and thanks for visiting our blog!! we love it!!
ReplyDeleteJanie
M & M.... we can't wait to see what kind of meals you get on that floor. We love McDonald's.
ReplyDeleteYes it is true the Black Dales and the Red Dales are more calm. I am not sure why....we all have the same DNA.....just different color. My daddy told my mommy they would NEVER get an Airedale because the Black/Tans were "too"much for him. But.....he loooovvvees me. He says he can't believe how calm and mellow I am. I don't bark either....except when being played with. Same goes for other blacks. You should talk to my grandma about them. Oh and the Griffendales have one of my brothers.....he is 3.
Mommy says I am only a chewer of stuffies and beds too. I have never eaten a wall, shoe, couch, barbie, chair, table etc. (mommy is now knocking on wood). Mom says the Reds are even calmer....kind of like Mr. Sunfalufagus from Sesame Street.
Big Smooches,
Willow

I am jealous of all your dee-licious food stuffs! Pizza is my absolute favorite. Hope you can eat out soon!
ReplyDeleteMmmm that ice cream looks like the best! Uncle Dennis sneaked us all some Edy's RootBeer Float ice cream 'cause it's named after me (that's my show name).
ReplyDeleteAnd your parents are so talented! Mom wishes she could do a wood floor herself, but wouldn't know where to begin.
Rudy
Thanks for the barkday wish, it meant a lot to me.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
How cool is that that they are raising another barn! We don't see any barns around here. Could they make a hurricane-proof one?
ReplyDeleteM&M...
ReplyDeleteBArn raisin' looks like it might be very interestin' work....bet yer Dad loves it....'n the kitchen floor looks super....big Bro Brian sanded and stained all of his pine wood floors on his first floor....what a job but it was but worth the effort.....
Dewey Dewster here....
That is one nice looking floor.
ReplyDeleteHi M & M! We got far behind (that's a terrible thing to happen to whippets of all dogs!) but we're trying to catch up.
ReplyDeletewe missed you. oh and that floor is amazing.
