Handy Manny ain't got nuthin on the SF Clarks

After reading and re-reading Coby and Becky's latest post about all the projects they took on over the summer, it got me thinking about what home projects I had neglected since the infamous move-in date here in Spanish Fork last January.

Now granted, the following home remodeling project isn't on the same scale as say, building and hanging a porch swing, but it did take me to a very foreign place (Home Depot) and led me wandering for a good 15 minutes before finding what I was looking for.

So, without any further delay, I give you the following before and after shots of the now, new and improved Clark Manor.

Thanks, Breinholt clan for the inspiration I needed to finally get some real work done around the house.

  1. wow, great post guys. Ryan, you totally rock on all home improvement projects. I just wish I could be like you!!
    Although it does look like that much work, made you work up a sweat... was it really as tough as it looks?

  2. Wow thanks Grady. I just posted this like 5 minutes ago and you've already commented. You really do love this blog site.
    As far as wanting to be like me, no worries, you've got several years to go, and by the time you hit 37, you'll be doing house projects like this in your sleep.
    Thanks for the vote of confidence though. It's appreciated!

  4. yeah right. Don't try and take back your compliments. I swear you need more sleep girl. It seems that when you start posting late at night, you get a bit delusional.

  6. Ugh. You all need to sign up for a google account so it will show the person who actually writes! Ryan.. this is the REAL grady.. and I will prove that I was in class during this whole conversation with who ever it was! State your name stranger under my name!

    And for the record, your post was hilarious. I'm very impressed as well.

  7. Good on you Ryan for putting in so much work in around the house. Your an inspiration to all of us slackers. So did you get lost in Home Depot?

  8. Ok all of you....we want to know who the stranger was who posted on Ryan's home improvement post. By the way Ryan, we are very proud of you. Dad says thanks for fixing the plate he broke. He didn't know it would cause you such effort. But I say....way to go! We love you,

    Mom & Dad

  13. hmmm, looks like we've been ratted out boys. Get rid of the evidence and wipe this blog site clean. Papa Bear and Mom are onto us and they are startin' to throw accusations around.
    It's only a matter of time before everyone finds out we're the ones who infiltrated this site by impersonating this blog's main author. And then we're done for. Quick, out the back door.
