Upward Progress

You may be saying to yourself - "That doesn't look anything like G'pa S."...well, you're correct. G'pa S. is so good at what he does he doesn't have time to always do for us. Now I'm sure he would have squeezed in a day here and a day there however it would then have taken 6 months to complete this project, as it is these 4 weeks are killing us! So who, you ask is this? This is Dave. Dave is a loyal glass shop customer and turning out to be a fairly decent choice for this project.

We're so close yet so far away from being done. We're having these "built-in" boxes added for storage - they're not much now but with a little imagination and some elbow grease on my part they will be very handy and chic additions.

I realize now that the walls are going back up it's not looking all that different than it did before. That is, actually the point. We didn't want this space to look all modern and out of place so we're re-using as much of the previous building material (sans the book style shim) as possible.

Insulation is near complete which I think will make a big difference both up and downstairs.

Below is where we'll be having a bank of those built-in boxes. The possibilities are near endless...

To door or not to door?

Shelf or not to shelf?

Dowel or not to dowel?

See what I'm saying?

There you have it for now. Don't the skylights add a lovely natural light? Two more to go!
