Second Floor Renovations!

Slowly but surely the 2nd floor renovations are coming along. The carpet is up from the whole floor. There were some water damaged spots in the corners from old radiators long ago removed that needed to be replaced. Then there was a random area of the hallway that had the old floor removed and a piece of plywood stuck down so that had to be reconstructed as well. Apparently this is really tedious and expensive work. The new flooring looks nice though and should be done today and then they can start to sand and stain.

The hallway is closed off and the closet is mostly built. They are putting a light in there today and eventually bars for hanging. We are going to have a built in book shelf on the backside of the closet to minimize the weirdness of the closed off wall. They are going to paint the master bedroom (sandstone) and Will's study (brown tepee) today.

We chose "gray wolf" for the outside house color which is a slightly blue gray but it pretty understated and will be similar to our olive green color now in terms of brightness but will be blue gray instead obviously. It's the top gray in the picture below (not to be confused with "anonymous" the gray color below it". They powerwashed yesterday which felt like going through the car wash only i was sitting at the dining room table. Hopefully painting will begin today!

The best news really is that we got split boxsprings this week so after 3 weeks of sleeping on the ground we are sleeping on the guest bed and LOVING it! A mattress with a boxspring is sooo much harder than one on the floor.

Anyway, I leave next week for Mer's and hopefully it's all done when I come back!!
