Trouble inside the Logan House

In addition to the problem with water getting behind the stucco, we found that water has come in through a vent in the cold room and did some damage to some things we had stored in boxes. Actually, it was things that Darcy had stored in there. Most of the stuff was stuffed animals. We unboxed everything and laid it out around the basement to dry out. Check it out.

Trouble with Logan Home

We made a trip to Logan on 2/14 to check on water damage at our home there. Water is running down the roof to the flashing around the chimney. A flip out was not placed at the end of the flashing so the water ran down inside of the stucco instead of flipping it out into the gutter. We had a company come with their meters which showed it to be plenty wet inside. They removed portions of the stucco and verified that there is damage. We decided to have them put in the flip outs and cover it to keep additional water from coming in until it gets warmer. Then, we will cut out the side of the house and replace all the wet wood and insulation and have someone come in and re-stucco the outside.

Lost a Family Member

Well, we just lost a member of the family. We sold our truck which we have had for about 2 years. It was hard to let it go but because of the lousy gas mileage it got, it just set around and depreciated. So we put it on Craig's list and sold it to a gentleman from Prescott. We are now looking for another pickup but without the V-8, Quad cab and four wheel drive. We want a 6 cylinder, extended cab, 2 wheel drive. If anyone knows of a good deal, let us know.

Josh's Visit

We were delighted to get a visit from our grandson, Josh Janda. He bought a 2002 Chevy Silverado over Ebay and it was located in Chandler. So he came to pick it up. Josh arrived 1/24 in the evening and we picked him up at the airport. He purchased his truck on 1/25. It is a good looker (check out the picture). We then had a get-together for him that night with all the family that is Arizona meeting together at Organ Stop Pizza for pizza and listening to some guy play the organ. Mark had to work so he was unable to attend.

Check out the man and his truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year's Eve

New Year's eve was a blast! Everyone met at Brian's, had some snacks, said goodbye to 2006 and welcomed 2007. Everyone was there except Mark, Darcy and Justin. At midnight, everyone made noise with indoor fireworks as we toasted the new year with some cider and grape juice. Here is a picture of the rebels setting off their fireworks. At this point we had lost one to sleep - David.

Hurricane?????

This is how it looked 30 minutes after the beginning of gift opening.

Could we have a clean up in the living room?

First Christmas in Arizona

This is our first Christmas in our house in Chandler, Arizona. We did not bring down many Christmas decorations because the house is not big enough to have a big Christmas tree. So we put up our little tree. Here is a picture of the Christmas tree with presents around it. Merry Christmas - ho ho ho!!!


See the Christmas tree to the left of the mirror? I should have turned on the Christmas tree lights so the tree would show up better.
