Progress!

Chair rail
Upsidedown Crown molding - (proved to be a challenge!)
Windows trimmed - (we put the flooring in the windowsills)
Better pic without the sun shining in
One wall almost done - (crown molding is right side up!)
I can almost get my washer and dryer moved back in!

More Walls

Been to Logan and back - again - this morning to pick up more stuff

Lucas had a pocketfull of "stuff" - this is what was there! (he had an attachment to the air compressor too!)


Chocolate Milk, Crackers and a movie!

Basement Door
"Analyzing" has become a joke!

A Wall

The first sheet of bead board has been hung! - Wahoo!
The electrician is finishing up today I hope - kind of at a stand still till then.
I picked up the paint yesterday - so excited for painted walls - NO WALLPAPER!

More Demo(lition)

I'm sure this is boring to most people reading this - but it's for my documentation and posterity!
More lovely wallpaper - (birds and hearts)

Lucas having some summertime fun!

Plastering the wall to keep the critters out!
Jed mixing the cement outside in the dark!

The wiring proved to be quite a challenge for the electrician - trying to shove wires through a rock wall was a chore!


Yeah - there's wires!
Looks MUCH better - (really!)

Jed and Mark decided Rootbeer Floats sounded good - I was giving a "demonstration" of how to make them on the kitchen floor!

More surprises!

Demolition Crew
Notice the linoleums! pretty huh!

Under the kitchen sink cabinet
Washer and Dryer Wall (not sure why there's a hole in the wall!)
Coat Closet Wall (notice the rock wall along the bottom and up the side!)
We've seen about 6 different layers of "lovely" wallpaper!
