Rain Protection at Last!

Well, its the start of a new week, and though I don't have pictures, I thought I'd report on the progress of our remodel. Today I have roofers and electricians here working, and they should be here for the next few days. The heating vents and gas lines are in place, and the fireplace box is awaiting dry-wall and mantels. I feel like the decisions I make now are really important, because they're the visible items that can't be changed once my decisions are made. Don't they know that decision making is not more strength? I like to move furniture around, so can't we have 2 potential places to put all of the desk wiring? Apparently NOT! Anyway, I am most pleased with the roofers since the weather has been wet and unpredictable. I won't have such sleepless nights over water damage now that the roofers are here. Shannon, my builder, told me today that we have about 10 more days of slower progress, then it will be amazing how quickly we are through with the project! Happy Remodeling to me, to me!!

Latest Developments

I didn't realize that it had been so long since I posted pictures. There as been a lot of progress in the past few weeks despite uncooperative weather. We've had lots of rain and snow, so many hours have gone into tacking up plastic to protect the work that's been done. Today finally cooperated, and the living room was opened and exposed to build the bay window. Its interesting to look at new construction, but its strange to look into my existing living room with my painting of Wheeler Farm and my piano covered in blankets and plastic exposed to the outside world. In the past few weeks, I've gained a porch, a study, and a new bay window for my existing living room. The fireplace surround is in place and the insert will be delivered and fitted on Thursday. We salvaged a set of windows that are installed on the study facing the porch, but I think we are a week off from having doors and the rest of the windows delivered.







Here are a bunch of pictures, including storm clouds the builders had to race to protect the house from leaks. Its been a crazy few weeks, my schedule being so busy that I haven't had much time to think about the remodel let alone post pictures. Its been to see it come together so well. I think the neighbors are feeling less nervous as the design becomes clearer.
