Work gets done in Door County

Last week Dad didn't have a chemotherapy treatment because his platelets were too low. He referred to the low platelets as his "get out of jail free card". They left for Door County on Thursday afternoon following Mom's PT for her elbow.

My parents were joined in Door County by my Aunt Mary and Uncle John. Also, Tom and Jan and the spouse of another Rexnord co-worker helped out on Saturday. Stairs were built to replace the extension ladder! (That's Tom coming down the new stairs.) Upper kitchen cabinets were installed.

On Monday, the hardwood floor installation began. My dad is helping out the contractor my parents hired to put in the floor. A portion of the wood was milled from trees cleared from the building site.


Back at home new flooring was installed in the entry hall and down the basement stairs. It looks great!

Hopefully they stayed home this weekend to watch it snow! It may take a few days before anyone makes it up the hill to Egg Harbor! Stay warm and dry.
and Nice Job Michele.

I love the tile floor. Is it ceramic or slate? It looks great.
Take care Judy and Phil. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
