Another chilly weekend in the cozy farm house...

It's a good thing that this house gets cozy and warm because it's cold outside!  While we actually have less snow on the ground than Boston does, it's very very cold!  Last weekend it got down to -20 at night.  Yes there's a negative sign in front of that 20!  It is now a balmy 27 degrees--a little more reasonable.

This weekend, Justin has started a plumbing project.  He's changing the major supply line pipes to be bigger so that we can have more than a trickle of water pressure.  I'm still amazed that he knows how to do all of this stuff.  What a catch!

Last week, Justin started some drawings, marking the official beginning to some big changes.  Our first two big projects are to re-do the bathroom/shower and finish the entry way room that I already plastered.

Looking into the bathroom, where Justin is drawing.  It's these two rooms that will be first on the list.

Panorama of the bathroom:  Imagine the washer and dryer out of there and a new tiled shower.  Oh yeah, and no wood paneling.

I'll finish plastering the wall, paint and add a chair rail.  We'll pull up the carpets, add some built-in bookcases and get some new furniture!

To give you a better sense of the house.  If you enter in from the old front door, that is now an enclosed porch, you see this first, with a room to the left and parlor to the right.

Justin takes a break from his work to draw and color.

While Justin was doing all of this, I took down crown molding from the room we're working on, and also cleaned out a weird china cabinet to give us a coat closet.
