Six shades of orange in one house is about right.

This morning was my first day waking up in the house now that the addition is open to the existing house. I couldn't wait to check out everything by morning light.

The office. Note the early morning mist. Ah, fall in New England...

Good morning, Mike! Mike immediately got to work cleaning out the office in preparation for the maple floor to go down in here. Please note the amount of mess in the background, and start the clock.

Kevin and I headed upstairs and gaped at the loveliness of the cherry floor in the bedroom.

We admired the window frames - Jonathan and Steve have been working on staining and urethaning them.
We admired the roof. So, it's been what, maybe five minutes that we've been upstairs? By the time we got back downstairs, things were in full swing.

Figuring there is only so much squealing and coo-ing these guys can take and still be productive, I left them alone. Later on in the afternoon, Kevin and I went to pick up the bathroom vanity from Perkins.

Fun with forklifts! That's our cabinet guy, Dan, standing in the bay. He's fabulous.

Fortunately, this puppy fits nicely in the back of Kevin's truck.

By the time we got back home, the guys were pretty much done for the day. They'd gotten part of the maple floor down in the office, and have continued on the window staining/urethaning project. More of the same is expected tomorrow.

The siding, by the way, is completely done, now that the roof is done. (There were some bits and pieces wedged between the roof of the bump out and the roof of the addition that hadn't been completed.)

OH! We got our zoning permit for the deck. Sir Michael arrives tomorrow to contemplate the beginning of that project.
