Just as soon as we were lamenting not seeing Mr. Contractor, we see him on Friday! Maybe his ears were burning? Anyway, he assigned us homework: find any old paint cans we might have for the house color and decide on the floor wood - pine, oak or maple. Mr. Contractor also indicated that the …

I’m progressive but don’t support all “progressives”. If you consider yourself a Republican and/or is a member of the GOP - fuck you and go to hell. I’m an application developer. I enjoy plucking the strings of a classical guitar, strumming a tenor ukulele, and reading a good book. I have a special interest in nutrition. Pro tip: it’s the refined carbs and seed oils, stupid.
If you support Trump - go fuck yourself.
The Hug
We have not seen the smiling face of Mr. Contractor these past couple of days. Mir thinks it might be related to something she did last week...Mir had a most unusual reaction to a suggestion from Mr. Contractor - she gave him a hug. She apologized for infringing on personal space but the deed was …
Under the House
Mir decided to take a gander under the house. She was already under there to place some boards up so the dogs don't have total access under there. Thank goodness she's a little person.
And The Beat Goes On….
More siding on the house. They've stopped short of the windows - we think so they can do the trim first.The dryer vent is installed - yes, it's the little things that keep us going. Our door is in! We love it!We revisited some of our earlier postings and were reminded that demolition began Feb …
Lunchtime Delight
It's lunchtime and I just had to share the progress! Siding is going up. Hooray!
The Doors
Now, this is the door frame that will house the sliding door that leads into the in-suite bathroom. We've not picked the actual door yet, but we have several design ideas. Mr. Contractor suggested a door with a glass insert so as not to hide the very nice bathroom. Yep...he's a visionary...and we absolutely agree …
This and That
Looks like our doorknob lock is not working real well. Oh well, we plan to replace the door and locks anyway.An image of our plans. The draftsman who drew them up is great. He's now working on plans for a deck area outside the porch doorThe bird boards are in! It's all coming together!We're getting …
Busy as Bees
It was like bees buzzing around the hive today! The activity was furious. I've never seen so many trucks parked in the street. What joy!The temporary wall is down! You might be able to get some sense of how much larger the room is going to be in the above pic. No more sliding sideways …
Ain’t She Beautiful?
As you can see, dear readers, the remodel is coming along beautifully.Seamless...once it's finished with siding and paint I don't think you'll be able to tell old from new.This one has been a bit of debate - code requires that the knee wall or railing be at least 36 inches if the floor is more …
And the work goes on…
Did not see the smiling face of Mr Contractor today but Doug and Adam worked on...It's gotten to the point that Peanut knows when Doug has arrived 'cause she starts to whine and whimper. She is such a flirt.Stood under the roof of my porch..Hmm...my porch...I like the way that sounds. Our neighbor Tom came …
