December 17: texturing

We left the house all day while the crew came in and textured the walls.
The house was shrouded in plastic, but it was pretty intense stuff.
A layer of white dust is still covering everything!
I tried to sneak a picture of one of the guys with his full-on protective gear,
but he leaned over when I did the sneaky snap of the camera.:)

December 16: painting

They painted the outside of the addition this morning.

Just in time- the snow is about to hit us!:)

December 10: new room

The addition is totally opened up to the house now...

Very exciting!

December 9: wall work

The work on the walls continues....

December 7: drywall up

The plastic barricades are slowly disappearing!

The drywall is up, and now it's time for taping and mudding-

several days and several coats worth!

December 6: window gone, bedroom gone

The old, ugly garden window was taken out today

and temporarily boarded up to get ready for the start of drywalling.

Also gone is the black plastic hallway... and the old bedroom.

We now have a living area accessing the new attic bedroom.

Now that I can get upstairs to see the new attic room,

I was able to take a picture of the insulation up here.

Look at that nifty dormer!

...and the new heater/AC unit up there, too.

December 3: insulation day

There has been a lot of *behind the scenes* work going on,

so I haven't gotten any new pictures.

But today was insulation day, and I took some pictures through the window

of the newly-installed insulation.

Once again, please excuse my dirty window.;)

If you look carefully, you'll see the new heating/AC unit on the wall.
