We’ve been planning for years to relocate to the Denver area to be near Matt, Ashley and Isabella. I promised Ryan he could finish his degree here in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well…. Ryan finished his Bachelor’s degree and certification as a teacher. Woo hoo! He’s worked so very hard, and I’m incredibly proud of him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in late September\/early October we will be relocating. We found a wonderful house to lease in Castle Pines that actually has a lot more room than our home here in Washington. And all of our furry family members are welcome! It was absolutely meant to be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m feverishly doing some much needed maintenance of the house and replacement of the deck so we can lease out our home here. I had to have one side of the fence replaced and now the new Trex deck is being installed. I will be replacing garage doors and having the house painted too. I replaced quite a few glass in windows (much cheaper than buying new windows!). New interior carpet and paint will finish it up after we move out. I’ve hired a property management company and filled out all that paperwork yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We absolutely LOVE our house here and have no intention of selling it! It feels so good to give it some much needed upgrades!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few pics shows the progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve lived here 30 years now and I never knew there was an original cement patio in front of the family room door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the old deck that I built with Ryan’s help. Time to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old deck is out and installation of new deck begins. So excited to see it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the progress as of Friday, August 2, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
