Holiday Color

Just in time for the Holidays, our house is getting color.

Outside, the exterior rock facing is up on both wings. The construction fence and storage container are gone, and curb appeal has begun to appear!

Inside, base board trim has started to appear. And, the paint crews were busy today in the east wing. They'll finish there over the next week, and move into the west wing. As they do, the tile sub will return.

We also learned a little remodeling color this week. John Hammerschmidt, Sean & Bernie were wrapping up our weekly meeting early, just as the paint crew knocked off for lunch at noon. One of the crew carried the outlet end of their loooooooooooong extension cord from the sprayer to inside their truck in the driveway. Sean and John looked knowingly at each other, then said to me, "Must be lunchtime. Time to fire up the microwave." John went on to note that they rarely wind up scrapping working microwaves from projects going through demo. Instead, the various crews hang onto 'em and use em on job sites until they break. Who'd'a thunk, huh?

By our meeting on December 5th, we expect notable progress: a trench for the gas line and driveway prep in the front; paint up and some tile floor in the east wing; and paint going up in the west. Looks like Laura & I need to get cracking on picking out towel bars and doorbells.
