A few more pics

Finishing the trim!

The hot tub- our best investment yet.

The ill-fated "looks like cream on the tiny color swath, turns to mint green in sunlight"- we'll be re-painting this one.

Drywall and painting

Lorien here- So a long time since the last post, testament to how busy we've been with house things. :-) The drywall is (finally!) done and we're on to painting, which I'm finding to be the most challenging from a decision-making standpoint. Turns out that after we spent 6 hours poring over 47 different shades of green, finally choosing the perfect one, the one we picked turns an entirely DIFFERENT shade of green in direct sunlight on the wall. So, back to the....er....choosing board. We're also working on our master bathroom and will be starting to tile the shower soon.

Pictures above are: Our greatroom looking up towards our bedroom, the front hall, Ross painting greatroom, the pantry (complete with wine) and the den (with our buddy Mike Johnson helping out). We've given the paint colors a few names of our own: Troll Skin Green for the greatroom, Gandalf's Grey for the shop, Human Flesh for the front hall and Fairy Blood purple for the den. Soon to come: Vampire's Feast Red for our room and Cyanosis Blue for the guest bedroom. As you tell, we're a bit sick of choosing paint colors.

In other news, Ross has built a sweet shop workbench (currently buried under crap so no pic posted), the outside trim is almost done, the greenhouse is holding temps above 50 (or so) at night and up into 70s during the day (there's no heater in there so this was a big question) and the masonry heater is kicking ass. Oh, and our hot tub is nearly buried in snow, which makes it really neat to sit in.

Next on the docket: Installing downstairs shower, upstairs bathtub and shower, installing cabinets then appliances then starting in on the floors. More to come....

Move-in date: end of April!
