INSIDE AND OUT

Large crowds of workers are busy, busy painting inside our house


and working on our yard outside this week.

No toilets in the house yet, though!  Bummer!  But maybe it is a good thing since they broke the water line this afternoon and that took a while to repair.  Seems like there is always something!  But I do believe there is forward progress being made.

SO MUCH IS HAPPENING…

So much is happening at our house right now that I have not even had time to take pictures.  They are painting the rooms today. 

And we finally have a real stair rail!  Whoopeeeee!

Below is a picture of the accidental “pass through” that the sheet rock people created from the upstairs bunkroom into the bathroom.  It caused many, many questions…

It has now been covered by a nice medicine cabinet “treatment.”

Virgil’s office is the loveliest color they have painted so far!  It is a soft blue grey and it is so restful to walk into the room now.

Our granite was installed last week and has been covered for protection ever since.  Occasionally I go in and lift the cardboard cover just to admire it and dream about cooking in my kitchen again.

Below is the counter in the master bath.

And the picture below shows the colors I have chosen for my kitchen.  The red color looks like paprika.  It makes me think that it is time to put a pot of soup on the stove (which is here but not installed yet.).  I can hardly wait!

A little more each day and slowly the house is beginning to come together.  Whee!
