This has been a really productive week.
Once again a lot of hammering and sawing going on.
Below is what the back and side of the house look like.
Actually they finished putting up the siding today.
The big hole with blue tarp on the side of the house is a large window.
In order to get the dry wall up to the second floor they brought in
a big crane. And then lifted the dry wall through the window
and into the new bedroom.
This was a really big deal because now that the dry wall is in,
they can put in the new window. That means no birds
getting into the upstairs and Mike doesn't have to
scare them out at night. Like birds, but not in the house!!
Below is what Mike has been working on this week.
I dragged these two old corbels home from a junk shop several years ago.
Of course, Mike always says "and what are you going to do with those?"
He knows it always means more work for him. But we found a place for them
around the french doors leading into the family room.
He added the moulding across the top.
This is the fireplace in the family room. It was incredibly dirty and ugly.
Kyle was the one who figured out what the big black metal objects on the side
were for. You pull them out to let more heat escape. But we are
going to put in gas logs so now the metal pieces are gone.
So what to do with the four large holes?!!
Mike added wood around the fireplace and added
more moulding around the bookshelves.
I will paint the bricks a lighter color and then paint
the shelves and fireplace mouldings white.
Check back to see how it comes out.
Hope you are all having a good week.
Valerie
