Friday is the day over at Nancy's for Random 5 Friday, where you can add 5 random facts about you, your day, your kids, your pets, or whatever.
Last Saturday my daughter, her boy friend and my grandson came to help get a few chores done around here. Here are the 5 biggest ones accomplished..
1. New storm door on my kitchen door.
2. Replaced the rotting wood around the garage door with vinal.
3. Added window well covers to the basement windows.
4. Put away my lawn furniture.
5. Cleaned out the gutters.
A few other things got done but those were the things I really wanted to get done before winter.
Linking to Random 5 Friday
Earlier I told you I had been to the Bachman Idea House in Minneapolis and promised to show pictures. Well I have not gotten around to editing them but you can see Linda's pictures over at Itsy Bits and Pieces.
There is so much to see there and Linda always manages to see things that I don't.
Thanks for stopping. Have a great weekend!
See you next time.

I love it when family pitches in - what a wonderful day and all that progress.
how lovely to have that helping hand; gives you some peace of mind; well done team!
It sounds as though you've been very productive and it's so nice you family was with you to help out! I can't believe winter is on it's way already...
Isn't that always the way? We are wonderfully unique. What a lot of very good things accomplished! Sounds as if you had a terrific team. Well covers for the basement windows...I should investigate that for my own home.
wow, you have been busy. you are a hard working lady. i bet it is great for exercise. that is what i call it around here. enjoy your weekend. ( :
Well now I need to borrow your daughter and her boyfriend:) they sure do accomplish a lot. Good job Hug B
It's nice to get all those chores done before winter and great to have help doing them. I visited Linda's blog and enjoyed seeing her photos of the house you visited. I hope you have an enjoyable weekend. Hugs, Pam
glad you had help with winterizing. :)
What an accomplishment! Love the photo.
How wonderful to have help! I like the idea of window well covers!
I read about what was done and I immediately felt guilty. I have to do so many things before winter will come. And I didn't do anything that I planned.
I love very much this autumn picture! It's beautiful and dreamy!
Glad you got some help with the chores before winter comes! How nice of them to lend you a hand.
How wonderful to have these jobs done before winter!
Preparations for the new season are in well order i see. Hope you'll have a nice and relaxing weekend.
You've been busy winterizing! Love the red leaf.
Your blog is the second I've read this afternoon that talked about putting things away for winter. I guess I'm behind but I'm really waiting for a couple of weeks of lovely fall weather. :)
It's nice you got the chores out of the way.
Sounds like you got a lot of work done...so nice to have the help! Thanks for the shout-out, Barb...it's funny how we all see different things at the Ideas House!
Your post reminds me there are some things I need to do soon, too. But they aren't pressing yet.
Can you send those 2 by my house...I need some chores like that done!! That's great that you had some help!!
You did good by getting a lot of things done before winter sets in.
We need to put away our lawn furniture pretty soon, and get wood for winter, which is a huge job to do.
Yep, time to get things ready for winter. Glad you had some assistance. I'm heading back to MN tomorrow. Debating whether or not to bring my coat. :-) I am not ready for colder temps yet.
I think you are almost ready for winter weather!
Congrats! That sounds like an extremely productive day.
Oh you inspire me! There are still so many things I'd like to get done before the snow flies.
I'm going to get to work on that list today :)
Smiles :)

Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne.
PS: sorry for slow reply - I have been out of phone / Internet range for most of the week - it was strangely pleasant!
Bless your helpers- it is always nice to have a couple of helping hands to get things done. Have a great week Barb!
Sounds lie you were pretty productive. Winter will be here before we know it. xo Laura
