It's A Beautiful Morning...

 
the start of a beautiful day!

I made another book from the cards I have received from the hubs.


This set of cards spans from 2007 - 2013.

Held together with binder rings, with pretty ribbons tied around them.

I had this little tag/pocket in my scrapbooking supplies,
and it was perfect for this project!

This is my favorite magazine and I really enjoy receiving it in print.


I am all set with my Holiday Crackers for Thanksgiving...

if you don't have festive holiday Crackers to decorate your table,
you are missing out on a lot.

Opening a Cracker requires two people.
Each person pulls on one end of it, and it makes a popping sound when it opens.
Inside, a paper hat, several little trinkets and a joke.
They are super silly little things but always super fun little conversation pieces!

I am at home most days and find less and less to write about.
Our Covid-19 numbers are ticking upward in New Jersey, averaging around 4,000 per day.
I ordered another craft project at Amazon.com because I really need one more hobby in my life.
More on that another day...

Stay safe and be well, I hope you are not getting too bored with my blog content!

How's The Deck Going...

 it's going slow!
The guys pulled off Monday and Tuesday to repair a roof,
they are back today, Wednesday.

This is how it looks now, you can see the deck follows the lines of the house.
If you happen to be new here, we are replacing our existing deck.

They did not remove the old boards, they just added new ones,
and reinforced the old ones.



On to the new building,
 it is complete and we have received a Certificate of Occupancy.
We started in early July and received our CO on November 16th.
The building is 10,000 square foot.

Tenants who rent from us in our other buildings on this property have rented the space.
This is what would be two units but this tenant needed both.
It can easily be divided in the future, if for some reason this tenant moves out.
There are two bathrooms and two offices in the space pictured.

There is an upstairs,
the brown railings were the tenants idea, I would have painted them white.

The place looks beautiful, we had epoxy put on the warehouse floors.

Each unit comes with a bathroom and a small office.
We find our tenants need more warehouse space than office space.

The other side is rented as well to one of our existing tenants.
This is building number 7 on this 7.5 acre piece of property in Lakewood, New Jersey.

This is the back of the building.


Here is a look at the building that caught fire, it is moving along with a lot of hard work and dedication.

This is how it looks inside.

Now that the new building is done, we can focus all of our attention here.
And that attention means working with/yelling at all of the subcontractors to do what they said they were going to do, and being here when they said they would!
The hubs is good at that!

What a task this has been, so time consuming, I am so happy the new building is done!
