Wow, it's been four months since my last entry. That's not to say we're finished. Far from it. The spring brought a flurry of time-sensitive demands which are almost as difficult to document as they were to complete. Outside of the demands for taxes and financial true-ups, the completion of the downstairs marked the beginning of the upstairs. This means each bedroom needs to be vacated, trimmed, closet built-ins installed, caulked, puttied, sanded, cleaned, and painted. While all this was going on, the occupant needed an alternate place to live. At the same time, spring was here, imposing time-sensitive demands for landscaping. In short, the last few months included:
1) Cleaning the work area in the garage to make room for building cabinetry,
2) Cleaning out all work materials and boxes from the master closet to create a makeshift bedroom,
3) Building storage area in the attic to create a place to move all the materials from the garage and master closet,
4) Finishing the built-in closet, trim and paint for Jessica's bedroom,
5) Building a stone retaining wall in the back yard,
6) Filling the back yard with dirt (70,000 gallons of dirt), top soil and planting grass,
7) Moving and planting a variety of shrubs and plants,
8) Having a stone patio installed.
That's really just a summary. When I went to upload pictures I've found my files all corrupted and inexcessible. Phoey. Attached you will see pictures of Jessica's completed room.
