Jaxson and I went back up to Hubbard on Wednesday and helped Bud finish the makeover to his house. Everything is done now and I have to say that it looks so much nicer and warmer. I think that we all had a lot of fun with this project. It’s a lot of fun when the change is so drastic like it was at his house. Jaxson and I came home on Thursday in the freezing cold temperatures and are staying inside today. I am sick of these below 0 temps. It was so cold that my radio in the van would only blast music at a volume of 35, despite me trying to turn it down. I’m sure glad that it started working again once it warmed up. I would have hated to miss a ride home without hearing "The Wheels on the Bus" five times. Here’s some pictures of our makeover.
