Merry Christmas!
Since we used the front livingroom I thought I’d share the picture from Christmas Eve…

Livingroom sheetrocked!
Our contractor continued to come work on the livingroom the week before Christmas, getting the 1/2 walls built, the beam up and helping my neighbor sheetrock on Friday. Everything was moved to the basement (well most tools were), and the room was cleaned up. All in time to use the room for Christmas! On monday …
Floor finished
As he hoped our contractor was able to finish laying in the floor by the end of the day Tuesday! So the floor and the sheetrock in the cupola are done! And it’s not even the end of the week yet, we still have Friday (and today) for more progress. Our contractor is coming back …
More progress
Saturday our neighbor finished up sheetrocking the cupola, it’s great having that done in time to put up a xmas tree this year! Our contractor got the rest of the floor cut out in a feathered pattern for re-installation. Sunday during naptime I got the lights in the livingroom wired down to the panel box …
Friday sheetrocking
The contractor and neighbor were back over today while I worked from home. They got the ceiling of the cupola prepped and sheetrocked and then my neighbor started the walls while our contractor planned out our 1/2 walls he’s going to build and went and got materials. We ran out of sheetrock so that’s item …

Productive weekend
We had a very full weekend! Saturday morning we cut up the branches from the halloween storm and took them to the dump. Then we worked on the built-ins – first installing the bookcases and then building and installing the face frames for the bookcases. They look great and will look even better once the …
Noreaster weekend
Well the weather did not agree with our weekend plans but we blustered on (pun intended). Saturday we ran errands to start and planned to put the copper over the diningroom windows but the rain started early. So instead we stuck with just doing windows this weekend. We took out 3 of the 6 livingroom …
Insulation – Finally
I feel like this has been the focus of my life for the past 9 months or so – but finally it’s over – we have insulation in our livingroom, diningroom and front hall/stairway! That’s most of the downstairs completed now – everything but the kitchen and backporch – plus a tiny bit of the …
Just a little insulation
Well today did not go as planned unfortunately. We spent the evening last night clearing out the bottom of the driveway and taking nails/screws out of the walls for insulation today. We got the last wire run and everything secured. This morning we moved the radiators and I installed the last cable drop. The insulation …
