Day 56 & 57, Painting Issue plus more new installations

It's official... we are keeping the green Hallway. Sandy likes it "sort of". I love it a lot. We finally decided to to re-paint the ceiling 100% Antique White semi-gross to reduce the intensity of an all green color scheme.


The overall color palette brings into living spaces tones of grain, leaf, grout, blue and warm white. These colors balance with a mid-tone cherry wood cabinets and natural red oak floors.


Right, Clint makes last minute color checks to insure the highest quality workmanship, including conferring with our GC.

Darrell finally can afford these new boots after cashing the biggest progressive payment I ever wrote. I almost couldn't fit description amount on the check...

NICE Wheels, Mr. D-Built

Here are our painters in motion: reaching, stoking, masking, etc.

This is the final stage of wall preparation. After this Darrell and Stacy will be setting doors and interior window as well as trimming bases doors and windows.
Mikey can now set all of our ceiling can lighting.

How illuminating...

Above, you see how "Tinkerbell Trial meets the "Pick of the Meadow". The wall in the entry next to the door will be plastered two tone blue with splashes of gold color.

Left is the mud room wall using the new porch color. We are also thinking about emphasizing the beams from the roof boards with two tone of "Antique White".

One of our favorite signs greeting friends and family into our breeze way was given by Clint, the painter.

Here are some of Sandy's record shots featuring key items that tell their stories of the over looked tools and fixtures that blend together to create the remodeling experience.

Where would a builder be without his tool belt?

Here, I get my new window installed. No more hot or cold windows. I should have much more comfortable temperature shifts in my office.
