Things at Norm's have been pretty busy lately, which is awesome. Lots of houses in the back for work. We're still working on Marilyn's awesome house, which is gorgeous.
This little house we're donating to a charity. It's almost ready to go!
This house is a remodel job. The owner is a neat lady who did all the wallpaper and everything when she was 8, and she did and AMAZING job.
But it was all kind of aging and needed some freshening up, so she brought it to us to put in new wallpaper and floors and stuff.
Neat house. Cool attic. I just like attics, I think.
Still working on a Queen Anne for Cathy. This is a pretty house, and she's got awesome ideas about how she wants it finished.
Check out that chandelier!
Cathy has awesome taste, and is going to have one AWESOME house!
This little house just came in today, and I couldn't resist the urge to take a picture of Snuffy in the fallen wallpaper.
This house is about 40 years old, and we're doing a refurbish for the original owner so she can play with it with her daughter. That's pretty cool. I love helping on refurbishing. I always just wonder what stories this old wallpaper knows, what dolls it saw live in this room, what adventures they had.
I guess old wallpaper just makes me a bit wistful or something.
Anyway, all of that isn't the ONLY excitement going on at Norm's. Oh no... there's plenty of work, but there's PLAY too!
We got this thing. A wonderful, awesome flying thing.
It's called a
Nano Quadcopter. We got it from
Hobby Town in Centennial, so if you're in Colorado, go get one from them. They're awesome. You can order one online too, but instant gratification is so much more instantly gratifying.
Even Snuffy got into the act. I think I need to make him a parachute before he does too much flying, since we all stink at flying the thing.
Well, except David. Who's a pretty good quadcopter pilot.
Except for getting it stuck on the ceiling a couple of times.
He got up on a stepladder and got it down. Though MY suggestion was getting a SECOND quadcopter to rescue the first one. I got outvoted.
I guess two would just be twice as much time spent waiting for them to charge, though.
Anyway, it was a great day at Norm's today. Lots and lots of houses to work on, but we love it. I'll let you know how it all goes! Must be construction season! Lucky I look so good in my construction hat.
