Getting all this stuff off the floor made for a lot of fine yellow dust everywhere.

Chris waves from inside the shed. He finished putting on the roof just before Hurricane Jeanne arrived.

Another great advantage of the double sided fabric is that it offers you the ability to easily adjust the height of the louvers. If you wish to raise them to a higher level, you can easily do so and when you want to lower them, you do not need to remove the louvers to allow more light into the room. This is an added benefit as you do not need to purchase long duvets for every bed in the house.

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!

Without any legs or cross braces or brackets or stuff like that, at this point the table was already going to outlive our house.

Looking from D's office down the hallway towards my office.

Note the matching, very officey-looking shelves all along the "knee wall".

We installed this and it filled in just 8 hours of steady rain.

Floors refinished. The ghost of the 1930s sink-with-integral-drainboards can be seen in the tile.

Most of the carpet padding had ossified to the point where it wasn't really doing any padding at all; it had packed down into a firm cake that was holding pretty tightly to the floor in a lot of places as well.

Scraping up the whole room probably took a bit more than an hour with the two of us working at the same time in different spots.

Part of the old carpet in the screened in porch. Plenty of stains.

After: Side entrance

Notice the snow outside. A surprise storm dumped about 4" in one night.

This is what the old bathroom looks like after having the tub and fixtures, and wall covering ripped out.

Scary. I feel like we have our own little horror movie now. Every time I forget it`s not a bathroom anymore, I open the door and go AAhhhh!!!

I built these three shelves this week - two today - and also disassembled and reassembled another on that was here and didn't fit anymore. (That's where the books on the shelves came from.) Maybe now I can finally finish unpacking the rest of my boxes.

After we'd built the shelves into the pantry, but relatively early in the project. Note the wire shelves to the left, which we were trying to eliminate.

The flash shows the plaster repair marks. I'm really pleased with how the walls are looking. Will be more pleased after sanding, more spackle, primer, paint...
