We had a couple of rains this week, totaling almost an inch. Still need more to get the burn ban lifted. I have lost my zest for cutting and making piles, because there are so many already. There are little signs of spring here and there, so I am hoping once we get just a little more rain I can start making a dent in my burning chores.
Pretty good progress on the construction this week. Mike's guys completed putting down the metal roofing over the sun room and repaired and started the metal on the roof over the deck. I expect it to be completed this week.
Lalo has started painting the bedroom walls. It has been so long since I chose the colors, I forgot how much I liked the blue hues of the guest bedroom- very soothing. The three whitish walls in the art studio are painted, as is the high little loft area, though it is in the same darker blue tone of the guest room. The other wall in the art studio will be a light green.
He has also painted the ceiling in the hall, utility room, and guest bathroom.
Not sure when the kitchen cabinets will be re sealed, but it didn't happen this week. Lots of rock work, though. The rocks are above the L-Beam on both sides. They try to keep progress even all the way across so they can move the scaffolding up all at once. The ammonite fossil has found its permanent home in the wall, and I decided to use the rest of the petrified wood as well. The columns and wall are taking on quite a bit more presence than I expected- I didn't take into account the added 6 inches all the way around. The room has a LOT of rock work in it, giving it an overall substantial feel.
David finished framing the sun room walls and is working on the siding. I am going to use corrugated metal for a sort of wainscoting under the level of the windows- and possibly for the ceiling too.
April 21 will be here before I know it. I have a Big Hill To Do list tacked on my fridge, and am marking through it as fast as I progress allows. Tick-tock...
