April 2012

Working into the night to start the framing of the shower.

This will become a window in the shower that will let in nice light!

Steve, Jeni and Brian arrive...Brian and Steve show off their toys!

Shower is coming together!

Lobster for dinner...

Getting rid of the stump is harder than it looks!

A metal detector finds an old advertisement plate for "Uncle Sam Work Shirts."

DISASTER STRIKES!   A leaky pipe upstairs leads to a leak onto the new drywall.

We quickly took down the drywall from the ceiling.  It was ok and dried out.  Justin fixed the plumbing problem.

It's always fun to work with onlookers!

Drywall is on the shower window! 

This will become a small storage shelf to the right of the shower.

Solid!

If you look closely you can see two new Azalea bushes and some bulbs.

Spring green.

Rosemary and lavender I planted.

Sprouts in the garden!

Check out that shower!

March/April 2012

The bathroom closet will soon be closed up (and only accessed from the other  side in another room).  We'll build a new storage shelf in the bathroom.

Framed and ready for drywall...

First piece of drywall.  (It's green because it's mold resistant).

No more closet!

Soil delivery!

Early spring and these trees look terrible!  They have to go.

These are soon to go.  

Nothing has budded yet...

Site of two new raised garden beds.

First raised bed is finished (in the background) and we prepare to put soil into it.

Half-full of soil.  (And a banana peel for good measure).

Ready for planting!

Peas.

Carrots.

Yet another box for Chester.

More green drywall in the bathroom.

Goodbye tree!

Tree gone!

Two beds...complete!

Summer dinner with mojitos!

Moved the shower out of the corner...Hooray!   But no more shower!

Lovely shower in the middle of the room.

Justin finishes cutting pieces to prepare for the bathroom drywall on the back wall.

Initial shower framing!
