Things are changing rapidly around the house. After I moved all the stuff around again and got things organized and Robin took a bunch of stuff to the Dogie Shop thrift store, it just seemed right to tear off all the drywall and make a big mess. So now the future hall has been opened up as well as the wall between the living room and absurdly large old hall. I will move the wiring soon and a new beam will go up as the old studs come down adding 6 feet to the area and joining the kitchen with the living room.
The wall where the sofa bed is will half disappear and to the right is the new hall. BTW, that sofa is both the best and the worst piece of furniture to have! It is quite handy to have two extra beds in the house and it is neat to be able to nap on the sofa so comfortably or to pile up a bunch of people on them to watch a movie, but it is a beast to have about the house and always looks untidy, like a bed.
This is a view into the new hall. It was a closet, large, but in an awkward place, which at one time held nothing but a bed for Ryan and stuffed animals. That explains the night sky painting at the top and all the holes where the stars were pulled off. It will be opened up completely and have a door to each of the bathrooms and each of the three bedrooms. I am still trying to decide how I want them all arranged. I may make a sliding door panel for the hall opening. I want lots of sound barriers between the areas.
The work on the sunroom continues to progress. i finished the wiring and got the new ceiling fan and light in. Thank goodness Martin came and made the support for it. His son, Hendrik, fished the wires through the attic for me. In this picture, looking through the new door, you can see that I am ready to paint the trim and I have coated all the walls with kilz just because I’m nuts like that. So nuts that now, I am going to paint the trim. It is one am. I love summer for all the energy it brings me.

Have you ever seen the episode of Dharma and Greg in which Dharma decides they need a pass-through from their kitchen to their living room? That’s what I want to think of with the exposed studs and the bits of sheetrock remaining around the light switches. Except I know that you guys are way more with it about constructing than Dharma and her dad. It’s pretty exciting– I’ll look forward to seeing the final floor plan when it’s all done.
Hi Jim,
I’ve not seen that show, but it has been getting pretty wacky around here, too! Those wires have now been re-routed, thanks in large part to the ceiling fall down on me! Big changes continue each day. I think you will approve of some of our latest ideas and I can hardly wait for it to be all finished and have you come for a visit. Of course, you guys are welcome pretty much all the time. We’ll just put you to work!
