Painting Tips
Posted Wednesday May 17, 2006, 12:39 am, Over one day oldWhat can I say - we like color. If you've got high ceilings, invest in a long handle for your roller. Make sure you save some paint for touch-ups, and mark your cans with the name of the room. Otherwise, you'll spend way too long pulling out cans in the basement searching for the right match.

Rained Out
Posted Wednesday May 17, 2006, 12:39 am, Over one day oldI can't say I'm excited about pushing our timeline back a week, since it means our house will be ripped apart that much longer, but I suppose we'll survive. The living room floor's last coat of varnish is hard enough to walk on, but not quite hard enough to put giant pieces of furniture on.

Landscaping Loot
Posted Thursday May 11, 2006, 8:29 am, Over one day oldWe spent a few hours here roaming around the woods, selecting good-sized trees and a few smaller plants for the flower beds. We put 6 of the pines (3-4 ft. tall) on the back edge of our property - our house is on a double lot, so our backyard ends at the street and there is no fence.

Hardwoods - 2 down, 2 to go
Posted Thursday May 11, 2006, 8:29 am, Over one day oldAfter the entire floor was sanded, and all big gaps/holes filled with wood putty, I vacuumed like crazy (on my hands hands & knees with the Shop-Vac) and then used tackcloth to get every last bit of dust out of the room. Then, 3-4 MORE days before we can put furniture in there.

Climbing into the Cupola
Posted Thursday May 11, 2006, 8:29 am, Over one day oldTo find out the true extent of our roof problems (namely, how much of the original decking had been ruined by these leaks) we had to climb up into the crawl-space above the second floor. You can see the ceiling and arched windows, plus about 100 years worth of cobwebs.
