Day 56: The closet is done. That tree keeps dropping leaves by the ton. I keep raking and there are always fresh leaves on the lawn...it's great.
















This is the closet before any paint and doors.












Here's the closet with the doors and paint. There's actually a place to hang clothes behind those doors.










Luck. That's how the dresser fits. Luck. I didn't measure and somehow it fits, with about 1/2 inch to spare.

Day 49: Wait a minute...that should go inside.


















Some stacked boxes for an end table.












Side table and some chairs.












The closet getting framed in in the bedroom.

Day 47: Rakin' it happen. Yep, there's mom on the business end of a rake, rakin' care of business.






Here's the living room with a bit of crown, baseboard and a new color. The color was easy to pick, it just required a fit of rage thrown at the paint gal at home depot...





Here's the kitchen cleaned up quite a bit. There's a coat of primer on the walls and the dry walling is pretty close to finished.






Here's another shot of the living room. We eventually took the plastic wrap off the couch.

Day 41: Something to sit on. Finally. I've been standing up for weeks. The couch moved in a couple of days ago. Like many new couches, the cushions are so damned springy they sort of bounce you right out of your seat. I'll have to have some really lazy people come over and break it in.


I continued working on the bathroom tonight. I managed to get the door cased out and the chair rail in.



I also managed to wrangle in the cabinet. This thing weighed a ton and crushed a few fingers during the process. Oh well, at least now I have somewhere to store all the spare bog role.



And finally, I dialed in a bit of baseboard. Almost done...
