Moving On In

OUR SIDING IS DONE

Here she is in all her glory!
Let's take a closer look at those beautiful posts.
Properly sided chimney stack.
View from the back
Garage and dilapidated hot tub
Other side of the garage with overgrown plants
Speaking of overgrown...
It still sure is pretty though
Wild field, coming through!
How long should we let it grow?  That's rhetorical, we don't have time to mow!
I know these are weeds, but they look like they belong
Dead but full of life
Well where'd you come from, you lovely thing?
Same question, but without the loveliness at the end.
She's got gutters!
Perfectly matching musket brown gutters
And a dryer vent!

4-H FAIR

Because selfies are all the rage
Truck and tractor pull was pretty cool
And so was the awesome oldie!  (The tractor, not the husband)
It inspired hubby to grate the driveway
Look at all that hidden stone!
Smooth, but not rich
That's a whole lotta stuff getting dredged

ONTO THE INSIDE

Look ma, walls!
Sure, it's only drywall, but what a difference
They were so fast!
Smooth as a baby's butt!
Look at those x supports!
Look at that foam!
So proud of Milly
Ain't no air movement through the house now!
Subfloors all over the house!
Framing for the two bathrooms!

FLOORING

3/4" natural grade white oak 6" flooring!
Unfortunately it was at the front of a semi that couldn't go up our 500ft dirt driveway.  We had adventures
Now it's all safe in our garage!

BATHROOM SHOPPING

This was our fave.  So soothing, So comfy, I could pee in there right now!
For the main floor?  But there's no matching shower floor tile.
Maybe some natural slate?  But the chipping and the flaking rumors!
So nice
That's the goal, or closest picture.  We found a porcelain carrera blanco marble already!

Siding Along

The overgrown sun garden
She's done!  Omgomgomg.  Okay, only the front is done.
Some plants and some siding.
The archway angle.
Pale pink flowers overtaking the other plants.
View to the neighbor's house.
Closeup of the siding.  Stain is still drying on the porch area.
We have floors!
Subfloors.  Mostly.
We have x braces!
More braces!  The way it was meant to be!
We have a new wall support!  Done correctly!

Now for RABBITS


Fall was in his box.  I decided he should be in his box on the couch.
He did not agree.
Oh... oh?!!  No, sorry guys.  He never left his box.
