Another Drywalled Room

This is Libby's room and a look from the other direction of the kid's hallway.

start of drywall

This is the new hallway and Henry's room. Sorry, not very good pictures but they are kind of small rooms. Just showing that the drywall is up. More to come, very soon!

Sneak Peak

They were doing prep work today to make sure things are ready for dry wall.  This is finally really really feeling real.  They might start putting up the drywall tomorrow afternoon.

In the bathroom off of the kitchen they took down the chair rail.  (Ugly wood) Under it was some old wall paper.  I will try to put up the picture of it tomorrow, I will be up all night trying to get all the laundry done as my washer and dryer will be out of commission for "at least a week."  Lets hope they all work fast, right?

Sleep well and get some extra sleep for me  :D

Really quick Random from 11-11-11

You have to post with a date like that!

The new washer box on the left was installed today. Bottom right is what we are living in. That, my friends, is my dining room. :D So much fun.

Top right is my attempt to bring some normalcy to my house. I like the idea of decorating for holidays but am really lazy about it. I love putting up this garland every fall. Finally got it up today. It will only be up for about 2 weeks before I do a Christmas one, I hope.

Back to work. I have to constantly clean to keep my kitchen clean enough to eat in. things are happening fast enough now that we should be done about the end of November, I hope.

Sliding Glass Door to Window

In what was Libby's room now the part that is Henry's room there was a sliding glass door. Basically like the one you see on the top right. They removed that and put in the window. The window is smaller than the door so some changes had to be made. As you can see in the bottom right. They added the brick, the ledge and the stucco. It isn't perfect as they just did a straight line but this window is hidden under our deck so it really isn't a big deal. The brick was all originally on the house somewhere, just removed from various other changes. So it all matches really well.

I LOVE IT!!

Little Helper

The electricians were working in the laudnry/bathroom yesterday. Syd was sitting there watching them intently. They asked if she wanted to help, she was so excited. They told her that she needed shoes. I think they thought it might deter her. Nope. She ran and put on her coat and the one shoe that she could fine. I found the other and went to put it on her, she wouldn't let me. SHE had to do it.

They were totally awesome with her. They had her get her little broom and dust pan and had her "help" clean up. She was still cleaning after they left.

(see that tile, it is slippery and ugly. Can't wait to rip it out and put in the new stuff.)

On Masons and Miscellaneous

Mike here this time around. I spent the day finishing up the installation of the network, cable, and phone wiring since well, I sortof enjoy that sort of thing. I should probably let a pro do it, but... Anyway, so the masons came back and refinished the brick around the new windows. It looks great! It also seems warmer in that area too. I think the old window just leaked air like a sieve.

Starting from top left and going clockwise is the finished product, then how it looked before the new windows, then before the new windows with the teeny-tiny window, then the masons taking out the old brick and finally, the scaffolding they put up to get the done.
