Shouts out to this guy!. . . . .

The last two days were Roger's days off this week.  And what a trooper this guy has been!  Wednesday was spent in Hays ~  DRX.  Dentist appt for both of us.  New reading glasses ordered for Roger.  New lenses for me.  A nice dinner at Applebee's.  Bank.  Vet's for Jorge and Lukes meds.  Orschelin's for dog food.  Home Depot.  And of course Wal-Mart for groceries.  Talk about crossing a lot off the to do list!  It truly makes it so much easier if he is with me on these trips.

Yesterday Roger was working in/under the kitchen.  Our kitchen is on the north end of our house.  Part of our house has the basement under it.  The kitchen end is just the crawl space.  BUT, when they built on the kitchen/bathroom/washroom they did not put an access to get to that area.  Duh!  The floor gets so cold in the winter.  And when you open the cabinets you could almost feel a breeze.  So Roger decided to make his own access. 
 


When pulling up the kitchen floor this is what was on one of the boards.  Just cracks me up! 
 


This is looking into the hole.  I can reach down and put my hand flat on the ground.  The floor hit my elbows.  Not much room to "crawl" around!  And yes, he is going in!  But no "crawling".  There was only enough room for him to lay on his back and scoot himself around.  (We won't tell you that he had to suck in his belly to go under some of the spots.)
 



Trip number one done!  ??? more to go.  Foam insulation was filled in the cracks.  Next will be putting insulation up under the floor.  We have hopes that it will not only warm up our floor, but also help keep it cooler this summer.  

MY HERO!
