Day Forty-seven

Unlike the fabled city of Jericho, this weekend saw walls going up. To refresh your memory, here's what the laundry room used to look like:

But now we'll be able to do laundry in style with finished walls to go with our elegant tile! It's almost cozy in there now.

Not to be outdone, one of the other little rooms in the basement--the one that isn't the furnace room and isn't the bathroom--got a new ceiling, making a complete replacement of the old tiles.

The upstairs bathroom also got most of its finishing touches, so we're about ready to declare this job finished.

The cabinets got unveiled and an initial sanding before we begin the staining phase. Don't they just look smoother than a couple days ago? It's nice that we have this huge garage to be able to work under cover from the elements, although the open door can let in a cold breeze.

Finally, the studio's all cleaned and ready for its new wood floor, which should arrive by midweek. Prizes go to anyone who can guess what's missing from this picture. That's right, a bathtub! Also, if you're keeping score at home, here's a picture of all the paint that's going to be applied to our ceilings and walls in the coming days.
