Door Work, Setting Up the Closet
Bed set up back up, with nightstands (that were stored in the basement) and a cedar chest and TV (which were stored in the bathroom).

Working Downtown, Post-Work Errands, Returning to the Floors
With the workers coming back today, to address the various issues we found… Liz and I couldn’t stay home. So we did what we used to do in the old days – head downtown, to work onsite at our respective offices.
Flooring Issues
Some unfortunate news. When we got back yesterday and unloaded the car, after being away for a few weeks… we found our floors in a less than ideal state than we had hoped.
Handoff and Travel Day
Downstairs, we moved the front door against the fireplace. While the floors here have been stained already… we were waiting for a final buff/varnish. With all the work happening on the second floor, we decided it would be efficient of we cleared everything… and allowed the flooring guys to work on both floors at once.
Miscellaneous Tasks
In addition to packing/clearing things, today was all about miscellaneous tasks. On my list: adding insulation in the hallway floor, along with insulating our two closet doors (in the front office).
More Packing, Adding Spar Varnish to the Doors
Liz, showing how slick the doors are.
Fireplace Prep
Of late, I’ve relocated my office down to the dining room… so this means, I needed to move my desk. And we also needed to cordon off the dining room as much as possible (we’re anticipating a lot of dust/debris over the next week or so).
Floorboards and Custom Cuts
We’ve got a bit of work to do in the main bedroom. There’s a light in the dining room (on the first floor) that we want to relocate, and the easiest way to do that is to go through the floor from up here.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 5: Sanding, Primer
Expecting a mess today, with a lot of drywall dust in the air from sanding. Woke up early to try to get things covered up as best we can.
Upstairs Drywall, Day 3: Taping, Mudding, Bedroom Relocation, and the Opening of a New Room
Here’s the same bit of drywall, looking at it from the bedroom. When we first put up all this drywall (the blue stuff is soundproof drywall), the idea was that we’d eventually cut through and make this an entry into the closet. That day, finally, is today.
Open Floor Plan
We’ve got a light in the dining room (on the first floor) that we want to relocate slightly. In order to do this, we opted to gain access from the second floor, going down through the main bedroom floor.
New Bedroom Windows
While we were in Michigan, Bob was able to install both windows in our bedroom. It’s a bit mind-boggling to me, when I imagine how much he must have had to go up/down the scaffold for this – but we arrived home to see our bedroom in an entirely new light – quite literally so.
Old Notes
It’s like we left a time capsule for ourselves. What a lovely converage of the past and present.
Bedroom Window Prep
Today, we started to prep the exterior – and also removed the AC unit which was embedded into the foam insulation. If all goes well, we’ll be looking to install two newer windows into this space.
The Big Bedroom Move, Part 2
This is a view of our living room, after we moved the bed out. Taken last night, this is where we had dinner around 10:30 PM. Which totally felt weird, because we’re used to eating dinner in bed, while watching TV. It actually looks like a normal room, now.
