Here's the office...you can see that more taping and mud slathering has been happening...but here's the significant thing about this picture. It was taken from inside the existing house.

Like so! I ripped off the plastic to allow the woodstove's heat to help dry stuff out in the addition - like it will help, but still.

And I think I've made some progress with paint colors.
