Day - 94 I locked the door tonight






Yes, I locked the door. It may be a temporary handle and lock, but it made the project seem more real this evening when I actually locked a door. For so long we just walked on a board to get in or climbed a ladder, but now we have doors and locks. We also have drywall! In two and a half days we went from studs and insulation to full drywall with one coat of tape and mud. Tomorrow they will sand and coat again, and before the end of the week they will be done. It's hard to believe we are already at this stage. The stone mason delivered some stones for the fireplace today and they are spread out downstairs staged and ready to go. The OCI guys picked out and delivered our antique salvaged doors today. The doors look good and will make the new part of our home blend seamlessly in with the original. Also, delivered today were a few bundles of the oak planks we will be using for our flooring. Vanessa visited the lighting store today and we started going through catalogs tonight to get an idea for what type of lighting fixtures we will be using. We also picked out a rug yesterday that inspired a color palate for the walls and trim. The electrician was able to power up (permanently) the lights in my downstairs shop as well as a few outlets in that area. That is the first part of the electrical to get turned on. Well, today is exactly 2 weeks until we bring home boy #2 and although the project is not scheduled to be finished by then, we will be nearing the final few weeks. I guess as the noise dies down from the construction it will pick up from the new baby... ha! That is all for now, thank you for reading.

  1. Since he didn't, there was more than just a physical entrapment in this cage. Something from within was keeping the speaker in this room with the lockless door.
