Progress

As we wrote earlier, we discovered some great brick features in demolition that we decided to preserve and incorporate into the designs. Despite the drywall process being like a jigsaw puzzle, this area is coming together great. This bathroom it going to be a really unique and cool room.

Before:

We needed to take down the old plaster for a section of the wall, because it was in bad shape. This is what I found when I knocked it down:

This is a “behind-the-scenes” part of a fireplace in an adjoining room, but the geometry of it is just awesome. The dirty grey string is the original plumb line used when the house was built!

Still in progress:

Can’t wait to be able to show you AFTER…

Jacks and Jills of all trades

Winter and snow and old houses bring ice and sometimes, leaks. JD headed up in the cherry picker the other day to clear some ice and check some flashing.

Now that’s hands-on.

Oh lighting!

This is K80 and McKay displaying that we try to check out all our options from every possible angle. Brava to K80 for all the lighting research. We are getting there.

Survey Says!

We have added a survey to the front page of the blog. You will see it just below the “labels” section on the right of the page. We want to know what you think…and if we disagree we will just do what we want anyway. So vote!

Cables, Cables, Everywhere…

We have finished pulling coaxial cable and Cat5e cable to every guest room and the common areas that need it. Mike the Man somehow made the magic happen when he was able to figure out the cable chases for the third floor. He is very comfortable in tight dark spaces. We have a few more wires to run to power our video security system…but we are close. So, what do you get after you run thousands of feet of cable through a house that was not meant to have electricity?
