Another week has flown by…. we’ve been hopping from project to project, including Teague’s new business (which is really taking off!).

I promised a photo of the newly repainted living room, so here’s a comparison shot – you can see how much louder the first color was:

I like the new color much better, and it still matches the dark wood tones that are predominant in the room. Like this:

Teague is getting ready to side the third and final wall of our new kitchen addition. We’re running out of the original clapboard, so we’re looking into a few options to match things up. There is quite a bit of “close, but not exact” siding that we pulled off when we tore down the old walls, but if we want to match exactly then we’ve got two options. 1 – find a supplier of historic siding (or maybe a salvage place that carries it?) or 2 – make our own from rough cut lumber. We’ll be weighing the options, including time and cost. As always……..

If the raging thunderstorms stay away for a while, I’ll be finishing up the front door and scraping/priming the kitchen addition. Oh, and hopefully I’ll be cleaning, because our house is getting incredibly nasty. In our last apartment, I was a neat freak. Now, I’m learning to be comfortable with dirt and grime…… maybe a little too comfortable!
