Cigarette Smoking Is A Big Problem!

Nicotine just sitting on the walls. So much work, cleaning with 409 then lots of rinsing then comes the primer than the paint.

A night on the town!

Gordon and I had a great, marvelous time seeing the Jersey Boys at the Curran in San Fran last night.
One of our anniversary gifts to each other.

Derek's 9!

Our grandson Derek is nine years old. He had a great party.

Another Father's Day Present!

Chyrisa, Charlie and Bobbie sent a special gift of pictures of our family.

Here it is!

The tv is in place. The stones are gone and the tv is in. Gordon loves his new toy!

The fireplace!

The rocks were in the way of where we wanted to put the new hdtv! So the boys pulled the big stones out.

Now let's get up the 50 or so stairs!

My boys are so strong!!!!

Oh happy days!

Garrick and Gordon picking out his new hdtv that our kids paid for. Thank you, kids.

We are the Bornkamp Girls and proud of it!!!!

An new HD TV on it's way!

Here is Gordon with all most of our sons and two grandsons.

Our first Father's Day in our house in San Fran!

Miriam, Brent, Willie Garrick, me, Gordon, Kevin Amar between their 2 son Derek and Dylan. It was an awesome day, put together by our sons,Willie and and Garrick.

The plank walker!!!

The Plank!

This was the last board that went on the deck to complete the deck. BUT we had to use it to get from the first floor to the third floor.

This sander was very heavy!

This sander weighed over 200 pounds. Gordon and I had to bring it up three floors plus the 30 or so stairs to the front door. It was very hard but we manage. We love working together.

Gordon working hard on a new deck!

Another trip of furniture!

I got lucky again at a garage sale and bought a 6 piece bedroom set for us.

A table for us!

Garage sales are the most fun.
Here is our new table. Needs
a little work but what do you
want for $20.

25th anniversay coming up soon!

Going to the dump again!

Trip number two to the dump. Most of this stuff in the truck was the rugs and padding. The padding weighed more than anything else. The weighted was 380 pounds.
Gordon and I work very well together. I love working with him we work well together.

Camping in the formal dining room!

Yes, this our camping table and chairs in the dining room. I cannot wait to get a dining room set. I cleaned every nook and cranny in this room. It looks pretty good but I am not done yet.

Small bedroom on the third floor!

This carpet was really hard to get up too. The padding seemed like it was melted to the floor.
I cannot wait to redo this room.

The hallway rug is up too!

In the old days they use to paint the floors. This was very hard work not because of the rugs but because all the pads under the rugs were stuck to the floors. It was such hard work!!!!

Oh yeah! I am working too!!!!!!!!

Gordon pulling out another rug!

Dylan is showing off his baseball trophy and Derek is showing us his Japan project.

Our truck took his first trip to the SF dump!

We really loaded her up with the old cabinet from the kitchen, about 5 hoses, lots of weeds and other trash from the house.

We tore this cabinet out - not sure what we will put in it's place.

Painting is what we did today!

We painted the ceilings in the living room, dining room and hallways. Gordon finished the master bedroom too. We are working hard but it is very satisying knowing that we are so capable and willing to work hard. L

Here are the last two all cleaned up!

Saturday Night!

This was more than we expected. The rug is about 30 years old and needed to go. BUT the padding seemed to melt to the floor - what a mess. Now I wonder what we will do next. Carpet tile, rug or just what - I will let you know when we know.

Pulling up the carpet in the middle bedroom!

Four down - 2 more to go.

Cleaned number 3!

The second chandlier is now cleaned up!

I am tired of being on ladders.

Oh yeah I'm clean!
