| Second
layer of stucco applied. It's of a different color than the first
and completely hides any outline of the chicken wire. The last
coat, with the color and the final texture, will be applied in a couple
of weeks, so the masking plastic on the windows will be removed to
allow a breeze to flow through the house to circulate the paint fumes
within. |

Keith's family doesn't visit all
that often. But since the remodel has begun, all three (Jane, Ken, and
now Art) have come through town and stayed with us. The situation
was so bad this weekend we couldn't unfold the sofa couch, so Art slept
in Doug's bunk, Doug moved up to Brad's bunk, and Brad got bumped
downstairs to a couch.
Here are Art, Kristi, and Brad in the morning eating breakfast before baseball in the only place we can: among the stacks of stuff in the garage. |

This weekend was definitely the
hardest yet, and the first weekend where we were kicked out of our
house both days. With them painting both upstairs and down, there was
no way we could stick around.

They textured and primed the
entire downstairs, putting up plastic sheets to keep at least some of
the material from spreading throughout the house.
|
 |
 |
Upstairs they textured and primed
the new end of the expanded bedroom and painted the master bedroom.
|
|
At the bedroom door we have green
on the walls and texture and primer on the new hallway outside.
|
 |
 |
Still need the windows and doors
painted, but the green on the walls and ceiling looks nice.

|
Work as begun again outside, this
time prepping for the next concrete pour. We're extending the
side walkway from the edge of the old house to the front of the
addition.
