Barbara's windows
the finishing touch on the tray ceiling...rope lighting...thanks Aaron!
This is the back splash laid out and will start going up tomorrow...in fact I practically had to tie Barbara down as she was so anxious to start tiling today.
can't wait to see the back splash up
so very cool!
the oven has been installed
the counters go in tomorrow so the place was cleaned up nice and neat
check back tomorrow night for pictures of the absolute black granite counters

Claw foot bathroom is coming together...not quite finished but the most important fixture is in place and working...
bath tub is in place but not hooked up yet
sink is in place but not hooked up yet
My bedroom - tray and ceiling with crown molding. Notice in the tray part, the molding does not go all the way up...that is because there will be rope lighting behind the molding and it will be a subtle light...can hardly wait to see it.
Barbara's is the same
the post in the kitchen
the office...
Barbara put up temporary shades in her room yesterday as that room is hotter...no shade trees to keep it cool like my room
the crown molding in the hallway.
all the trim on the floor of the family room...this room has seen it's share of wood piles! notice the window trim that has had all the nail holes plugged...that is what we've been up to!
sadly...i could almost not bear to look at it...my shower needed some tiles replaced...it is sooooooo important to buy enough tile in the beginning with the same lot number. we had enough but one box was not seen by the tile installer so another box was purchased. the new tile was a slightly "pinker" white and it was only obvious when the grout was applied...then it was blaring. UGH...
we have decided not to put doors on the linen closet in the claw foot tub bathroom. it will have open shelving so Gregg suggested the wainscoting go all the way around.
the trim is going up around the doors.
and the windows
the trim isn't complete yet but it is close
the crown molding is going up in the tray ceilings and will have rope lighting installed above it...can't wait to see that. this is Barbara's bedroom
close up...
looking down the hall to the north door
my bedroom, crown molding is up and the door framing is in process
lookin good!
the photo doesn't really show how rotten the plywood base had gotten
Jack is, as usual, checking every single thing out
this is where the shed will end up
this is all the stuff that was in the shed. we unloaded it yesterday afternoon and with the typical weather pattern we were concerned about rain...fortunately it did not rain
Here's the crew
deciding the best way to tackle this problem
good choice...it took less than a minute to move it across the yard
maneuvering...
getting there...
just set it down...
shew! thanks guys!
our second project today was to paint the wainscoting in the bathroom...2 coats in between loading up the shed
we still have some touch up painting to do but it is looking great
a couple different views...
