  March 25, 2007 :: Rainy Days & Mondays...




Since it is now Spring in Indiana, it hasn't stopped raining in days. Most of the work I need to do on the house depends on working outside to some degree. To finish the master bedroom, I need to replace 3 windows. Replacing 3 windows while it's raining doesn't seem fun to me. Ergo, work hasn't progressed much. It DID stop raining briefly yesterday, so Sian and I ran outside and started working on the outside of the laundry room.

First, though, I'll show ya what I did while it dumped 4 inches of rain...


This isn't the project. I'm showing this one because I don't have a "before" picture of the one I actually worked on. It looked a lot like this though...incredibly dark stain, scratches, gouges, etc.



THIS is the one I've refinished.












and here it is before I put on the clear coat.


I tackled a few smaller projects, too.


I built shelves in the doorway into the storage room. Still need the beadboard back, but they're being used to hold tools and stuff right now.



And I cleaned and organized the storage room...somewhat.


Seems like I'm forgetting something....
Oh yeah. We did some more work on the outside of the house yesterday.
