Gilbert Temple Open House

     In February Kristi and I had a great time visiting the temple. Lots and Lots of people were there in line with us. I was thrilled with it's beauty. First we watched a video about temples and families and "WHY" we engage in the work. I felt such a peaceful feeling and gratitude to Kristi for letting me share this important place with her. Loved it!

Greg's office...where are the bookshelves?

What's old has become new again...recycled wood flooring in Master and Study! The wood finisher drew a small Yankees logo on the floor in rebellion against our love for the Red Sox!It took me a day to find! One up for the Yankees fan!

Patio, Basement, and Yard Update

It's a very large basement that will stay a coo temperature on the hottest days.

Forms in place for the concrete bsement walls.

Recycled brick makes a beautiful herringbone patio.
