Remodeling....Plugging along....

Hey Ho me dearie darlings!

Well, it's life in the topsy turvy ripped up world for us these days.

Got a lot of stuff out of the office....

and I'm very proud of my man, Harry!
I love him  SO much for getting it together enough to do this....I know it's hard for him, but he's really shining lately!

Have a wiring problem,

 but Harry can't even begin to look at it until after Screamer's Hollow Haunted Village and Hay Rides are up and running....
He's been a bit crazy running around with 50 things going on and it all being tore up here at the Squirrel Haven too!

Tonight is opening night for Screamer's! They have a beautiful evening for it tonight! So hopefully, he'll calm down a bit soon, and come back and help me here!

In the meantime...
I have been busy....

I spackled, taped off, washed down walls  (pay no attention to the old wallpaper border...I have new that is all picked out!)

and started the process....

Couldn't WAIT to see what the new color would look like on the walls! It's been 23 YEARS that these walls have been cream color!

SO....
I opened up the paint can and got busy! Painted the front room "Balsam", today....
 and I LOVE it so much! It makes the color of the furniture pop right out!

By the way...Do you see the darker green color that is on the stair risers here above?
It's been on those stairs since I painted it when I first moved in back in 1989.
I painted that color with a can of green from my mom and dad's house.
It is from my childhood home. :)
Mom and Pop are gone....and their house belongs to strangers now...
but I still have some of my childhood home with ME :)

OH!
And I just noticed....
In this pic above...that I just took today...there is an "orb" on the stairs just under the first set of books.
See it?
How fecking kewl is that?!
See? I told you it was special!

Will be putting on another coat this weekend....

Monty's been a good helper :)

So just as soon as Harry's schedule can calm down....and in between our music gigs...
he will fix the wiring issues...
and then we get the sheet rock fixed in the office...
Then I'll be opening the next color of paint and I'll be painting that room next!

I'm very tired and sore, but I'm seeing some great progress.

I HATE living with the mess though....can't find my kitchen table under all the clutter that is now residing there....everything is willy nilly even though we tried to be "organized and logical" for the moving of stuff...am walking on drop cloths and cardboard instead of carpeting...

Oh well. You have to make a mess to get things done.

Here's mud...I mean...spackle in your eye.

Slainte'!
