Take 2

Apparently I still had some pictures on my camera, so here is a supplement to the January and February posts.

We decided to take out the closet next to the garage door and turn that little hallway into a mudroom.  This is the beginning of demolition.

 

When safety goggles are scarce, swimming goggles will do.

Getting a little professional help with frame removal.

Brennan brought his class mascot, Bailey the Bee, home for a weekend.  We showed him a good time and added an entry to his journal.

Bailey and the kids helped to sand.

Mudding.

The sleep deprived supervisor.

Inauguration Day.

This is not actually allowed, and they know it.

I took the kids on a fun trip to the Loudoun Heritage Museum while Patrick was out of town.

The saga of the mudroom continues.

Happy Valentine's Day!  We went on a date (with Kellan as an uncharacteristically out-of-sorts third wheel).

Installing the beadboard.

Patrick and I forwent sleep to spend precious evening hours painting.

Dad designed and built the shelving and bench.

He also installed flooring where the door frame had been removed.

Looking good!
