Semi-Regular Update

And, we're back.

I'm looking forward to this house being all done so that I can sleep better - I hope I will sleep better.  Last night I woke up at 3ish, and finally just got up at 5ish and tweaked house pictures with my paint program.  Yeah, I'm pretty high tech.  And tired.

 Siding is almost done.

 In case more of you have been shaking your heads in dismay . . .
Yesterday, Sarah C said, "So your house is grey . . . and tan . . .?"  In case you were wondering, this is raw siding, which will be painted a magnificent color of our choosing.  And then you may shake your heads in dismay if you don't like it - but we won't care!!  Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!  No, actually it will hurt our feelings deeply, so please keep all injurious comments to yourselves.  Thank you. 

Still waiting for the front door, which should look something like this:


And the drywallers have been drywalling.

This is in the great room, looking east.

  Great room, looking south.
 Master Bedroom, looking east.

We did opt to have the walls textured - to help bangs and bruises not be so apparent.  It's hard for me to tell what it will look like when it's painted.  I'm hoping it is very light, as I don't want a rustic or old-world look.  I prefer clean and crisp.  So, here's hoping.

Otherwise, we've been hunting and hunting
for tile, wood and paint.
