After much fretting about how to get the barn doors to slide evenly across an uneven floor, we think we figured it out.  It needed a bottom track on the floor as well as one on the top.  
Here are the completed barn doors.   Bedroom is now complete, except for a light fixture. 

One of the more eventful times in Kansas City, Kansas is the bi-yearly burn permit.  After going to the fire station to obtain the permit, we burned the junk pile that had accumulated from all the house demolition and yard debris.   This is as close as you could get without your face melting off. 

Our gate had some issues with sagging.  It needed cables and turnbuckles supporting it from all angles.  The big crossbeam keeps the doors from scraping against the ground.  Here is the completed gateway to our magical yard of fat goats that fall over. 

Painted our laundry room, here's the before and after.

Also painted our stairs.  

David's parents visited for a few days in October.  We had some nagging projects on our list that really needed to get done, but we had been putting them off because they were no fun.  

Becky scraping the final set of windows that still had paint from when the trim was painted in February.  

After the burn permit, we all cleared off the asphalt driveway that goes into the yard.  This had not been cleared out since we moved to the house.  Perfect spot for ladder golf.

  A much more fun activity was preparing the garden for fall/winter.  Dean helped with that. 

Much thanks to David's parents for their assistance with boring tasks.  Although they seemed to enjoy all of it.  Maybe the next blog posting will have the completed stained beams and bookshelf in the living room.
