Where's The Beef?!

Along with everything else that's going on, we had the opportunity to buy a quarter side of beef. Stoneridge Pal Tammy's uncle raises cattle down in Twin Falls. All of my facts may not be quite right, but I know that he grain feeds them for a while before slaughter. They are then aged in a cooler for a couple of weeks before they go to the butcher. She had everything packaged for 2. There's nothing like fresh beef! But what do you do with this much meat? Well we had to buy a freezer. We now have an appliance working at the new house.

It may not look like alot, but this is about 200lbs of beef!

So how about a house update? We are moving right along now. Monday will be a busy day at 181 Stewart Dr. Stoneridge neighbor and stonemason will be starting the fireplace and adding the stone to the outside of the house. The electrician will be back to help Stoneridge Guy put in light switches, outlets and lights.

The front door is now in, but not trimmed out yet, and we started to put down the hardwood flooring just beyond the fireplace so the stonework can get started.

My knees were sooo sore when we were finished!

Some of the cabinets have been delivered and should be completed next week along with the bookshelf/cabinets for the fireplace wall. Once the cabinets are installed, we'll be able to start laying tile in the great room.

Right now my task is picking out the different tiles for the guest bath and laundry rooms. We'll be able to start there right away. (I just wish my sister was here to help me, she is so good at this.) I did drag new Stoneridge Pal Carol with me to help.

More to come soon!
