The Two Weekend Roundup

Over the past week and a half we've been busy-busy at the Farm. Jeff has been really plugging away at the plumbing of the house. Kathi's been helping out with everything and anything. And Gary's been building us a beautiful set of bulkhead doors (who would've thought they can be kinda beautiful).

 Last weekend Kathi and I insulated all the walls in the Den! It was such a challenge- because all of the studs seemed to be very different measurements.

        Is it just me? Or do they seem annoyed with my picture taking?

 Jeff removed the last of the beams that would've been the ceiling but we're going with semi-cathedral ceilings!

All the walls are insulated!

 Another find! A presumably old Coca-Cola bottle opener... I tried to search out the possible year, but no luck, maybe someone out there is a Coca-Cola antiques expert?


Jeff had Thursday off this past week and used the opportunity to log more hours at the house... And he took some liberties with the renovation while I was away. Like taking out the entire Kitchen. We had agreed upon taking out the cabinets that were closest to the Living Room (the partial white ones you can still see in the above pic). Well, Jeff decided that adding an entire Kitchen renovation to his long list of To-Dos was no big deal. Gotta love his optimism!

             We have no sink. Oh well, it's not like it was usable anyways! No plumbing will do that to a sink.

        Our Electricians have added the cans- recessed lighting is on it's way!


                                                 Cans in the Den!



This past week has also marked the start of me spending a lot of very-very uncomfortable time up on a very-very tall ladder dodging a lot of wasps/hornets. On Saturday, work had to be suspended because the stinging insects were out in full-force. I wasn't terribly disappointed.

          Haha, I forced them to do this. The transaction is official! Gary hands Jeff the keys to the bulkhead.

 
Beautiful doors.

                    Jeff and Kathi worked this past weekend to add insulation to the ceiling in the Den.

 Evidence of Jeff's plumbing in the Upstairs Bath. The cutout to the right of the yellow insulation is where a closet with a stacking washer and dryer will go.

 Detail pic of Jeff's plumbing to the washer and dryer. I'm pretty sure Jeff will be horrified at my lack of description as to all the work he's done, but since he's not around to ask- this is what you get! Pretty much- he's been plumbing- a lot -yep- that sums it up.
