West Window




I am so excited about doing the west side window.It is reall hard to see the rough sheetrock edge around the window. On the right is the tape I used to finish off the edges. Cool tape. I just fold it in half and the metal (grey) makes the corners strong. I have to put another layer of joint compound on it. Looking good!!!!

Let the Sun Shine, Let the Sun Shine In


We got the first shelves up. I decided to paint the shelves (right) because I want this room to look really good. The pale blue on the walls makes the room very bright. I think I am going to get light blue porch paint for the floors. We will start putting things on the shelves as soon as the boards dry-Sunday. Also on Sunday, I plan to tape and bed the window on the left (not in the picture). Monday we are going to get more shelves to put up on the right back wall. I am so excited that things are staring to come together. Of course every thing is contingent on 50 or above temp and NO rain.
Merry Christmas

Rained on my Parade

It has been about 4 weeks we have not been able to work on/in the workroom due to cold and rain. I feel frozen in place. Everything we were planning to do to make the house we live in more livable is contingent on the workroom being finished-or at least to the point we could put the shelves up and move some stuff out there. I feel much better now. Let the good weather come back.
