A Whole Week with a Helper

Tommy was just home for Spring Break, and the three of us worked on the house for an entire week.  We moved mountains! Bruce got all the windows firred and continued to mud the walls and ceilings.  Sanding starts today FINALLY.  Tommy and I (mostly Tommy) hung all the doors, built the glass block wall in the front hall, and finished sheetrocking the basement.  It was great fun and a huge help to have Tommy in on the project.  Between inheriting skills from Daddy and watching and working with Bruce over the years, he seems to be able to do just about anything.  (Engineering school might have helped a bit too!)

Installing Mimi's bedroom door.

The glass blocks came from Craig's List for FREE.  I love that.

The door into Mimi's guestroom.  Bathroom on left.

Glass block window in stairway.

The built-ins are almost there.

Glass doors into the bedroom and stairway and a solid door into the coat closet.  Cooper, the job cat, looks on.

Tommy will be back for a couple of weeks in between spring and summer semesters to help us finish up.  That gives us hope that Mimi's new digs will actually be done when the movers  arrive June 5th.  Stayed tuned.
