Work Continues...

As those heated days of almost 100 degrees have now blended into frosty mornings, the work continues. The dry wall crews have worked everyday patching, mudding, sanding, repairing and making "this old house" new again. The rest of the team have been hard at work installing new beadboard ceilings in the foyer, hallway upstairs and downstairs, and the guest room upstairs. I also picked out the crown molding that will go throughout the house. Big beefy six inch molding will finish and trim out the ten foot ceilings areas while just as impressive four inch molding will be installed in the lower ceiling parts. Also, I want to thank Jeff from Creative Kitchens for coming over to measure and offer a rendition of what hopefully will be the new kitchen. I brought Mom in for the appointment along with the valued and needed input from Ben. Thanks to all for the ideas and suggestions. Jeff also measured and is proposing cabinets for the bathrooms. Everything white is proposed for the lower Master Bath and Guest Bath. Clean lines and darker cherry woods in the upstairs Master Bath. If all of this wasn't enough, the painters are outside priming and prepping for the crisp white coat of paint to complete the exterior. Once that is completed, the work will begin on the tin roof. That will be a huge transformation from red to brown. One interesting note on the painter; he mentioned to me he was actually the one that painted the house the last time from green to its yellow/red combination. I also this week, stopped into the Dal-Tile dealer in Greensboro to select and review tile for the house. Mickey is anxious to get going on the job and really bring the interior to a new level. Soon I say, soon! More later...
