Beautiful West Lake Sunsets

Not a bad view while doing yard work...

Murphy

Our guest bedroom is pretty small, especially since it is also Michael's office.  To get the most out of our space, we decided to add a murphy bed.  I was a little unsure of this when Michael first came up with the idea.  Luckily, I didn't put up much of a fight on the idea, and now that it is done, we love it!  We bough the mechanism, and then Brian built it.  Here are some pics.  Everyone is welcome to stay!  

The beginning..

The handles lift up, which release the mechanism for the bed, and are also used as the legs for the bed when it is down.

The final product!  Still needs some paint...

Leakage

We were woken with bad news this morning. The upstairs toilet decided to overflow all night long. Brian got to the house this morning, heard water running, and started running around to find out why he was hearing that. Michael and I were at the house until 8:30 last night, and everything was fine when we left. The downstairs bathroom took the hit. We will have to possible replace Sheetrock on the ceiling and then repaint. Oh, and get rid of the odor. Great. Just our luck! We are literally only a few days of cleaning away from moving in, and now this. Classic Maywood!
