Week 19: Photo Update

Hi Friend,

I"m continuing my theme of "imperfect action" by just posting a photo update for this week ...

Exterior trim in various stages of painting

Here are some of the solid wood doors that have been installed. We'll build closet doors for the closet you see here (to the right) in the master bedroom.

Yesterday, Mickey, baby Anna, and I drove out to Springfield to pick up our 500-pound 3' x 5' terrazzo shower floor that the architect recommended. Yes, we could have had it delivered for $300, but where's the fun in that? The mission in driving this thing home from an hour away was made even dicier when we found out that Fedex had cracked the first two that were delivered to the warehouse. So you can imagine how much we enjoyed every little bump in the road!

This terrazzo shower floor made it home in one piece, thank God!

This will be the shower floor's resting place. We're not sure yet how we'll lug the 500-pounder inside!

Master bathroom. We'll have a drop ceiling and soffit to hide the pipes.

Oh, and we have water now! We finished tying into the town water main, flushing the system, burying the pipe and installing the meter. Huge milestone crossed!

The fancy piping for our boiler and radiant heat pipes in the utility closet inside the master bath.

The "wet wall" between both bathrooms from the half bath / laundry room side.

View of the upstairs bathroom, since we're showing bathrooms.

Anna picked a pumpkin from our messy pumpkin patch.

If you'd like a New England pie pumpkin, please come by and get one! We've given away several and still have many left.

Hope you're enjoying the fall!

Until next time,

xo,
