Kenney and I spent some time together working on a couple projects over the weekend, with the kids around of course! Bentley was kind enough to arrange the first project when she inserted a penny into the CD slot in the van. The next day we finished that project and installed a new storm door with a SCREEN!!! This is huge for us because we do not have any other windows in the house with a screen. If we want fresh air we have to open a door. I've been especially excited for this door!

We had to remove several pieces of the dash in order to get to the CD player. This was just a picture of the cords on the back of one piece because we wanted to ensure that we could put it back together the right way. We should have taken a picture of all the pieces we needed to remove, but neither of us thought about it. Kenney was able to get to the penny and got it out. We started this project on a Friday night but couldn't finish until the next morning because of the dark and a dropped bolt.
The next morning Kenney went to the lumber yard to get a similar bolt. We tried unsuccessfully to retrieve the bolt, but it dropped to somewhere we couldn't see or reach. Kenney wanted to make sure we had a bolt so there wouldn't be any rattling (I hate rattling sounds!!). However, unless we special ordered the bolt, which we didn't know if we could even do, we couldn't find one exactly like it. Kenney thought he would just have to strip it. Well since most of the dash is plastic now that didn't work, and then we couldn't get the bolt, that wasn't properly screwed in, out!! We for sure would have a rattle now. So we did what any intelligent person would do by gluing and duct taping the bolt in place!! Yep we are from small town Texas! |

| The storm door was a much more successful project. |
 |
| Now I can lower the top half of the door and have a breeze blow in!! |

| However, we decided the new door really makes our windows look bad!! |
