Use a piece of masking tape when removing outlet covers to avoid lost screws later in the project.

Here is a view of the entry way with its interesting corners and some of the ceiling. I already removed the ugly ceiling fan which is centered in the room.

The outer corner of the room. Note the challenging, non-standard windows. If I had a month two solid weeks to work on this with uninterupted days (ie. no work, no errands and money for supplies) I would rip the drywall out of these two walls. Install upgraded electrical, install new windows, and better insulate. I wonder what I would do with those nice Tennessee marble window sills?

These are the hardwoods that the kids, the dog and myself are slowly destroying. I think I will call someone today to see if they can refinish the floors room by room or if it requires emptying the entire upstairs. Oh..and cost.

I’m beginning with the closet on the premise that it will finish first and fill up quickly. The final design (for a later stage of the project) will have this doorway arched.

Noah’s new room makeover has begun. How do those DIY guys get such full pictures of the rooms they work on?

Poor Noah looks so dazed. I think he is sleeping sitting up. Molly (the puppy) is leaning up against him. Very sweet!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
This day started off strong on a 4:30 note. Man I hope I can keep that wake up time going!
All last week I had Victor Vito and Freddie Vasco (for those looking for just the cd) stuck in my head. Anyone know what they ate? Did you know there is a story book that goes with it?
This morning I wake up humming “this hat is my hat and makes me feel fine!”
Wow! On Whaddaya Think of That? Laurie does a rendition of “The Cat Came Back” and “Wimoweh”.
And because I like Laurie Berkner’s music here is Buzz Buzz.

Today’s Progress December 19, 2004 11:28 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI helped the wife get the girl’s new room in order and began painting on Noah’s new room. Hopefully I can burn some midnight oil and get it wiped out quickly. I have such plans for his room! They will be spread out over time. Yikes! I’m not photo documenting!

You know, when my mother used to tell me “anybody can be president” I thought she meant to inspire me to high aspirations. I had no clue she was being literal.
