The reconstruction is in full swing! And we got to welcome three visitors! Gwen, our friend from Sheridan, actually came and spent the night. She was our first overnight visitor and didn't seem to mind sleeping on a leaky blowup mattress on the floor. It was great to see her on her trek from Sheridan to California and back. Hopefully she will stop by regularly as she makes that trip. The day after she left, our friends Jeanne and Martin showed up for a visit and to see the project. They both had great ideas and thought we were doing good! That means alot from them since they've done this multiple times before. They arrived the same day the painters and window guys were here so it was rather hectic and I didn't get to spend enough time with them. But enough chit chat, on to the pictures!
 |
| The drywallers arrived early one morning. They worked so fast I almost didn't get any pictures! |
 |
| Sure is starting to look better! After 3 days they had all the drywall hung and mudding done and then the window installers arrived! |
 |
| Yes, that is snow on the ground! The old yucky glass sliding door is no more! |
 |
| Large openings like this made for a breezy cold day - even inside! |
 |
| One guy outside - freezing - and one inside - freezing - made for short work! |
 |
| The front window sure looks clean! In the middle of the window installation the painters arrived! |
 |
| An 18" roller makes short work or applying paint! |
 |
| There will be all new trim - baseboards and casings! Poor Julian got to paint them while kneeling on the floor. Speaking of Julian - he introduced me to a music group I hadn't heard before - ERA! - they are GREAT! |
 |
| WOW! That is YELLOW! but looks great! |
 |
| Those long planks are 16 feet! Green for the bedrooms and Yellow for living/kitchen! |
 |
| Dry wall is up. Windows are in. Paint is done. Now, to get ready for the floors. First thing was to get rid of range! |
 |
| And then rip out base cabinets. NOT To mention dishwasher and sink. |
 |
| YUCK! Under the cabinets we found.... dirt? |
 |
| NOPE mouse turds! |
 |
| But with everything gone we were now ready for the floor installer to arrive! |
 |
| Oh this floor is going to be gorgeous! Hardwood - Hickory |
