Pictures of the House

Already December - where did the time go?

 We replaced our blue door!  Thomas chopped this door in half, so we will have a dutch door into the mud room.  It affords a little air flow, light, and is a whole lot sturdier than the last one.  We'll find a way to use it somewhere else - maybe a cold frame for growing greens?

Thomas asks why our guest room is the one nearest completion for tape and texturing.  I think it has mostly been where I have been practicing my skills (or lack thereof).  Still have drywall to hang, but we're getting closer each weekend.

This past weekend we came home from church on Sunday to calm skies.  The wind came back before we could finish, but we used up the last of the day light to hang some more siding on the south side in an effort to close in the outside before closing in the inside.  We are ready to hang more interior drywall, which will mean the kitchen will get closer to cabinet-hanging.

The guest bathroom cabinets are in, and it won't be long until it is sanded, textured, painted, and ready for flushing  ("It won't be long" could refer to a couple weeks to a couple months....)

Saturday we did the pressure test of the hot and cold water lines.  All systems are a go!  Our appliances have arrived, so as soon as the kitchen is ready, they will be, too.  Tom and Pop have been working hard and teaching me much.  I am grateful, grateful, grateful.
