Just another day in paradise.

A typical day at the Brennan Household. Note - this does not include the subsequent arrival of Jonathan's truck.


New arrivals to the scene, Michael and Gary, staking out the deck. Please note the platter of chocolate chip cookies, which is my contribution toward world peace. (Think global, act local; better living through chocolate...something like that.)

By the end of the day, the maple floor in the office had made its way closer to the north wall, at left. The shims mark the trap door to the Pit of Despair, otherwise known as the crawlspace.

While Ben and Mike worked on the floors, and Steve continued with staining and urethaning window frames, Jonathan got busy painting the bump out.

You can see that he's cut the corners here - the paint is slightly darker than the primer. The fun thing about the wall that divides the living room from the office is that we'll probably end up having to repaint the living room to match the white that we're using in the addition. Ah Well.

At some point today, hardier souls than I hefted the vanity upstairs to the bedroom, where it waits demurely for its life partner, the countertop. This is a delicate ritual, involving the participation of the plumber (who supplies the fixtures) and the stonework guy.

Plain pine boards were delivered this morning - I'm thinking these are for the floors of the closets. They could be baseboards, though. Not sure.

The closet doors have also arrived. We need to pick out door handles for 'em.
