Staycation


Mom and Dad were on vacation last week
and it became a staycation

The original plan was to go camping for a couple of days
but temps in the high 90's put the halt to that

So what did they do?

They worked on projects around the yard

Our ramp off the deck needed some rework
The carpet was coming apart and the wood was soft


Dad replaced the wood


 Then he put new carpet on


I was happy to supervise



Testing! Testing!



Wahoo! Our ramp is good as new!

Next they tackled the deck railing


You can't tell in the picture 


but the lattice was cracking and breaking



Mom & Dad wanted to do something different 
so they took the railing apart


and replaced the lattice with composite wood slats


They match some of our fence and mom says it compliments the color of the house



We found it all kinda boring


Bailey is ready for them to go back to work
so he can get back to his regular nap schedule

Be sure to join us tomorrow
 for an impawtent campaign announcement

and visit Dory today for fun Pawlympic news!


We are the PugRanch Kids

  13. Well, we guess it was fun for your Mom and Dad to do all that hard work, but we think we would have just been napping and watching:0

  18. They did a lot of great work. It looks wonderful. A tip of the tail to them, and to you for your great supervision. A staycation is good because they stay with you

  19. Staycation sounds like a workcation to me. But it looks fabulous. Wish we had a handy man at our home. The heat is terrible here also, it got to a feels like temp of 110 degrees today. But we went for ice cream tonight so all is great.
    Thanks for being a friend

  21. Smart of you all to camp out in the house (with the AC) during the heatwave. Doesn't look like it stopped your dad, though! Wow, is he talented! Your deck looks fantastic. And your pug ramp is the most adorable/awesome thing ever. Hope your dad got to do a LITTLE relaxing, too, on his staycation! :)

    -Love,
    Sid.
