December 20: painting inside

We spent another day out of the house while they were painting. 
Then we came home and opened all the windows
-on a cold, wintry day-
to air out the house!

December 19: Mowgli

The cat would like to get out of the house.
He likes looking out the window and dreaming
of the free life in the great outdoors...
without the cone collar.

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!
