Back At It - Slowly


There were lots of interruptions in the remodel this summer. We spent much of August and some of September at our “other house,” Spindrift (the Library Cottage). We worked while we were there. Sami served as the general contractor and Don repaired old, worn out bits and pieces. Sami also got a good start on writing the history of the Cottage.. fantastically fascinating.

When we were home the garden demanded all of Sami’s attention, canning tomatoes, beans and ketchup and pulling three million weeds!

Now we are slowing moving back into our own remodel. Don systematically finished the installation of the first twelve windows.

Lots of steps

All of the fixtures and tile for the upstairs bathroom are finally on hand, so we are moving ahead to put that room back together.

Dare we say that the bathroom will be finished by Christmas. We hope so!
