Also the completed wall! Now my underwear, socks, shoes, and pants are in a different room from my bed.

Also please note the boring light blue paint. I repainted the bedroom(s) a few months ago because the bright green that I had painted it originally was "too much look" for prospective buyers. Makes sense, but still: boring.

The kitchen, over the sink.

Paint swatches on the walls to help decide on the next color.

Installing the ductwork for this range hood was a giant pain in the ass from hell. Shoulda paid the pro's to deal with it. Ah well it's done now!

Yes, I do use the putty knife, but mostly I spackle with my fingers.

I am ze spackle monster.

Test fitting of the speaker stand.

I'm going to have to hang some draperies in here later today, but I figured I'd grab a photo of the view from our redone bathroom before it disappeared again.

we painted the cabinet our stuff sits on.

Folding door needs to be installed to the walk-in closet, electric outlets need installing.

There's few things quite like coming home to see that your closet has completely come off the wall, with everything pretty much on the floor.

Empty space and a bare wire and an exhaust pipe.

Now look at it!

The matting on this painting is a lot purply-er than I thought. The color I had in mind isn't going to work but that other one will (see notes).

Once upon a time our bathroom floor had these small black and white tiles. I wonder if that was before or after the owners decided to go with a CEMENT subfloor.

Attic window prior to window seat installation and carpet. Windows by Windowpros out of Allentown. Window seat by contractor found on Servicemagic.com. Carpet by Royers Carpet out of Boyertown.

An herb garden, with parsley, rosemary, lavender, dill, thyme, oregano, and basil.

Most of the smaller stones have been removed from the wall, leaving a few very large stones. I haven't been able to pry them out but they are sandstone and many of the other smaller stones have broken already. I figure a few smacks with a sledgehammer will be able to break this down to size.

Don and Patricia can work together well as long as I am not in the picture--no pun intended. They are installing crown moulding into her bedroom.

Standing in what will be our kitchen...in April or May.

kitchen project summer o6 - after old kitchen has been fully gutted out; we have put up the drywall at this stage and were in the process of mudding!

Finally time to add color

Ian finally got a chance to hang our fancy light up in the foyer as well as a mirror and a coat rack thing I had. All that's left are The Little Prince sketches.

The heaters will be hung in a few days ago we need to paint the walls behind where they are going. Priming today. Painting tomorrow.

I got a (long) lesson on spackling plaster walls and repairing cracks...

Helpful Hint: This takes MUCH longer that spackling little holes in drywall. Surprise!

Day 1

After removing one of the old studs.

"Accent" wall. I think the accent they were going for is "tacky."

My daughter's friend's mom's husband fixes the (well, everything).

She truely has a magic touch with the trowel

2x4's were added around the fireplace for the addition of the mantel later.
