Drifting in

January 13, 2012

There has been a lot going on in the house! Unfortunately, part of what is going on in the house is snow:



Hmmmm...... That doesn't seem good!

Here the update on the outside of the house:


Yes, it's still blue.... no worries, we will revisit all of the outside issues more towards the spring ;-)


Alok has still been stripping away (paint that is. No, he hasn't had to take on that second job yet):




































The drywallers have been hard at work in the attic. There is one more coat and then we are good to go for the walls:











The 2nd floor is currently being painted:















We have also made some big/important purchases:

1) a heating/air system for the 2nd/3rd floor

2) Tile for the laundry room (we're also finishing this, or at least getting it usable, prior to move in):



3) Some lovely pre-finished, solid walnut floors for the attic


This has all been ordered!

In other news, we had some color consultation tonight that would allow us to avoid a repeat of the outside of the house and to avoid tile/color choices like this one:


Sorry, Alok, I just don't think that the green onyx quite fits! And yes, that was a real choice of his.....

We also had to keep this lovely stained glass window in mind:






Here are some of the colors that we are getting samples of:












That's all for now :-)
