HAPPY THANKSGIVING -- Day 5!!

DAY FIVE OF "TIM THE TOOL-TIME-HAMMER WEEK" and also Thanksgiving :) Well this post will be all about the guys, since mom and I did nothing but cook and relax today!
This morning we all woke up and walked to the end of our street where the gobble jog was being held. Kyle and Chris both signed up to run this 5k, along with about 3,000 other people!
Look at all those people!
The rules actually allowed dogs to run it in as well, so Tyson and Kyle ran together! Tyson was actually the first dog to cross the finish line... GO TYSON!
After returning home, the men finished putting up the sheet rock over the closet door. They are waiting to put the back of the closet drywall up until the last minute, so they can walk straight through to the garage!
Next was to start "mudding", which is filling all the screw holes/cracks that were made in the sheet rock. It's a messy job and took a while to do.
The last goal that they wanted to get done today are the built-in bookshelves & cabinets. Here they are building the shelves for the bottom cabinets, they are going to be very deep and provide us with so much storage. (the doors for these will be put on last)
Next was building the top shelves. We are putting "beaded board" behind the shelves to match the look of the rest of our house. I think it will add a nice touch for sure!
And the finished product after today. This is looking at the bookshelves. They are both doing such a great job!!
We took a break around 2:00 to have our Thanksgiving meal. It was delicious, and everyone was stuffed afterwards! This was a very different Thanksgiving not being around all of our families, but we really appreciate everyone being so understanding about us not driving to Raleigh for it. Hope everyone had a wonderful day, there is truly so much to be thankful for!
