Orphans

Sure, the floors are being finished yesterday and today and there could have been a picture of that work, but in moving everything out of the living room I took keys off the key rack and these have no home.

Here today, gone tomorrow??

Hopefully tomorrow this screw will be removed, the floor patched and then sanded in preparation for finishing on Saturday. I say hopefully, because you know how contractors are.

Day 27

Today's picture could have been more progress in our home project, or a pic of the small job I did at Lauren's, but while there I had to take a pic of my favorite granddaughter. Hard to get a picture of her while she is eating because her hand is always going to her mouth.

More progress

Doors painted and new knob on linen closet. Tomorrow I need to buy new knobs for other doors and install them. Floors to be finished Friday and Saturday.

This project is giving me days of postings. :-)

More progress

Today the trim was painted. If all goes according to plan the doors will be painted tomorrow. Floors aren't scheduled to be done until Friday/Saturday so there is time for me to get ahead of the game.

Almost empty

Where is our living room set?


At least no one can see in the windows.

Moral support

I hate plumbing, but Dave asked me to come over and help him install a new faucet. He did most of the work and unlike when I do plumbing, there were no leaks when we were done. I think part of that can be attributed to the great strides that have been made in making it easier for the homeowner to tackle projects without problems. Still it was nice to see a job done without one trip to Home Depot.

New house??

Doors were installed today with trim. No knobs on yet, nor some pieces of floor molding. That should all be completed tomorrow.

It is not a crowded theater.

Neighbor is cutting down two trees in his backyard. Instead of bundling the branches and disposing of them in the normal way, he purchased a fire ring and is burning everything. I think it is going to take him all winter.

This pic was taken through a window from which I was standing about five feet.

Prepping

Taped off base molding for priming. After floors are finished and shoemolding installed I will paint white.

God of Carnage

Dinner before the play, at La Rivage concluded with my Creme Caramel (flan) and Pat's interesting take on bread pudding.


No real marquee because of construction.
