The YATES GUYS at FLAMING GORGE




All the guys went to Flaming Gorge in June... It looks like they got a little sidetracked, or bored? Well, who wouldn't think to construct a fishing platform complete with stairs down to the water and massive lounge chairs. Shawn says that the chairs were actually really comfortable. :)

Girl's Camp

I'm having way too much fun as the Young Women's advisor. Although, we got completely rained out! What an adventure! We ended up loading and unloading the trucks 10 times in 2 days in search of dry ground and to eat. However, we did end up sneaking in some fun. :)

In the Service of Our Lord

Shawn has been called as the Executive Secretary of the Westland 10th Ward here in West Jordan.

Here it is! Our cute new house... it has such great potential. The lot is nice and roomy at 0.34 acres. We've got 2,000 square feet total; 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, and living room upstairs with an unfinished basement including 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, family room, storage/laundry room, and utility room.

LET THE FUN BEGIN!
Our front room is our first project:

Before

Recessed Lighting










Out with the poorly tiled hearth







Built-in cabinets and shelves





We tile the entry














Fully custom wainscot (we routered over 200 linear feet of trim!)






We'll keep you posted on our progress! :)
