....and our home remodel is moving along nicely. I will show you some before - in between - and after photos of the downstairs bathroom.
The laundry room is not quite finished - one more piece of molding needs to be installed. The living room window FINALLY has molding around it but, because of the settling of the house and the wonky way the window now fits into the opening, there is still a teeny bit of molding that has to be put in to cover up more of the gap. Nevertheless, I at least had the largest part up to enable me to hang curtain rods. We now have curtains again - no more living in a fishbowl!
Baseboards are now around the dining room and living room.
Only a partial photo of the counter top because there is still a small part of the backsplash that needs painting. I can't do that until James has sanded down the patched drywall.
James also got a lot of work done on the deck until we had two days of rain.
Which is how our inside work got finished.
Most of the mulch we bought last week has been spread around front flower beds and around all the trees. I collected two more hostas from Elizabeth and divided and planted them in the back yard. Elise rented a storage unit and over the last three days has moved her things out of the garage. Making ready for the garage ceiling install that is scheduled for this Wednesday. Look for before/after photos next week on that project.
So, as you can tell, it has been a productive week. In addition, Steve and I managed to make a little trip up to the Amish yesterday. We weren't sure if they were open to the "public" due to Covid 19 but I was running out of gluten-free flour ingredients so we thought we would venture up to see. Happily, they were and we returned home well stocked. As we were driving back, I commented to Steve that this trip of just fifteen miles was the furthest we had traveled since the first of March!
We had the Music Suite owner - and my boss - Pat Rybolt over for dinner last night. She had never eaten a pork steak (how is that POSSIBLE????) so Steve grilled one for each of us and I made baked beans and marinated carrots and a sugar free chocolate mousse for us to eat. Pat said everything was delicious and I think she had a good time. It was nice to have her over. Aside from her somewhat dogmatic idiosyncrasies as a boss, she is really a nice person.
We watched several movies throughout the week thanks to the public library opening up a drive-through service. We FINALLY finished "The First World War" mini-series. A very well made documentary but, boy, what a dumb war. We saw "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" and Taika Waititi is rapidly becoming one of my favorite film makers. We watched Steve's June movie "Chariots of Fire" and we saw "Shazam" which, being made for juvenile viewers, made it annoying in parts but overall rather heartwarming. I look forward to the sequel with the whole Shazam team.
I will close with two nature photos. The first one is a very unusual moth we found by our front door and the second is a puddle with a TON of earthworms at the bottom. Are they loving the water and having a party or are they drowning? Wouldn't robins think this is a birdie Golden Corral?
