Day 225 - Random Shots - In and Out

While we've been waiting for the painters to finish their magic, which they have done, we've been planning some of the further outside work.  This week should be a busy one, so hopefully there will be a lot to report.  In the meantime, here are a few random shots of some planning work and a brief house status.

Outside Planning

The first bit of outdoor planning is Bruce imagining himself in his completed pool with a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other hand.

Bruce getting in a "pool" mood with cigar, but no drink!


Other outside planning has been selecting just the right spot for the firepit.  It needs to be located 5 feet away from rainwater collection pipes, be close to the pool, and have enough space for nice seating around it.  Here's a couple of shots of the location we picked this weekend.

Orange marks the spot!!

Paint and Stain

Remember the raw cedar garage doors from the last post?  Check out the difference made by a coat of stain!   I am lovin' these doors!!!

Can't wait to see the lanterns beside the doors!!!

The interior painting looks great and we are looking forward to cabinet arrival this week and the trimwork to be totally finished.  Here are shots of a couple of the painted rooms.

So, that's all for now and I hope to have more updates and pictures to share this week.  Seeing the interior come together is going to be great fun!!
