Trim Paint....WOW!

It's funny, but our painters only work on holidays and weekends.  We weren't expecting any work to be done on the house today since it's Memorial Day, but lo and behold our painters were there.  I'm not surprised though, cause they worked on Good Friday, Easter, and Mother's Day.  Anyway, WOW on the trim!  It looks fabulous!  Our house is now getting to the point where we have so much pride in it.  Not that we didn't before, but now it looks like a 120 year old restored house.  The painting is by no means done but already looks fabulous!  Here's some pictures.  The front porch is going to be the last part of the house to be painted so just ignore it in all the pictures. :)



Upper front balcony. Ignore lower porch which hasn't been painted yet.

So, what do you think?  I am absolutely in love with it!  I love the green.  AND...Tomorrow we order our kitchen, and Wednesday Drywall starts!!!

May 28th

 I am out of titles for blogs.  So, instead it will bear today's date.  Thankfully the batt insulation went in yesterday and the work on the insulation far exceeded our expectations.  We were very impressed with the work they did.  Here are a few pictures.

Gary also informed me after my last blog post that I never blogged about the exterior painting.  The painters have started exterior painting (last month) and have done a second coat.  The trim work and a lot of other painting has not yet happened, but they have done the main body of the house.  Here's some pictures from this morning. 

Also, yesterday Gary and I picked out and ordered our fireplaces for the 3 fireplaces we have in the house.  The parlor will have an electric unit and the living room and dining room will have a see-thru vent free log set.  We also went to 84 Lumber yesterday and picked out trim.  Next to be done: Drywall!  Scheduled to start next Wednesday!  :)



Insulation

Well, it's been exactly one month since I've blogged.  That's because nothing has really gotten done since then.  But today, we finally got insulation.  We are doing spray foam insulation with batt insulation on top.  Yeah, we're going to have a R-value of a billion.  So, here's some pictures of the spray foam.  Batt goes up tomorrow.

I absolutely love it.  AND...Drywall can finally go in next week!!!!!!!!!!  Check back often!
