Modifying the House

It was a pretty busy weekend at the Barbeau house to cap off a very busy week. Dan was able to enjoy two trips home this weekend. Saturday night he joined Jack and I for a quiet dinner and a little bit of bowl game watching. Sunday was a bit more festive as a few of Dan's buddies came by the house to help us with some modifications that were needed before Dan comes home on Wednesday. Dan was able to be home for a few hours to visit with the guys and oversee the projects.  

Jack with his gear on to "help the boys" get the house ready for daddy.

Thankfully, when we designed our house, Dan was insistent on having a wide stair case and hallways. That is proving to be very helpful!  Tomorrow (Monday) we are having a stair lift installed to assist Dan with getting from the main floor to the second floor where the bedrooms and full baths are. (Thank you Kelly and Mountain Power for installing the outlet we needed for the lift.) We had grab bars installed in two bathrooms, modified our shower for easier access, and built a ramp from the garage into the house. The occupational therapist Dan has been working with at Elk's will be coming to the house Tuesday to do a walk through and make any final recommendations for modifications.

I have attached a few pictures of today's events.  A very big thank you to Coby, Todd, Jason, and Luke for their handyman skills and friendship, and for allowing Jack to "help the boys". A thank you also to Shauna for entertaining Jack with her incredible lego building skills. We feel so very blessed.

Lunch with the guys.....good times!
