Jillian played with her dollies and sang Kandi by One Eskimo to me while I removed hardware and cabinet faces (she only knows the part that goes "he called me baby, baby, baby, all night long" and just repeats it over and over.)
Robb was working with our carpenter in the front and when they started using the loud, sparking tools we closed the door which has a mirror on the back. I'd like to think that the rest of Jillian's concert and subsequent dance recital was as much for my benefit as for her reflection's.
However this turns out it has already been completely worth it.
Besides; there's no turning back now!
We have started digging and stripping and we have a bloody mess.
I'll try to get some pictures this weekend.
We've found a bit of wood rot here, a bit of rust there, but nothing too surprising or unrepairable.
The dinette is out, the barrel chairs are out, the beds are out, the cabinet doors are half way removed, floors are out and whatever else happened after I left to meet the kids after school.
We have it in a garage/storage bay where we can work on it which is great because the pouring rain is not showing any signs of stopping. It's quite cozy really, though I think we need some music to work by, I'll work on that for tomorrow.
I compared 379 different shades of white today, they all looked the same. I'm going with the white the gentleman at the paint store just used on his grandson's bedroom furniture. He said it looked great; works for me!
Well I can't WAIT to see pics of this empty shell! How exciting! Now the fun begins!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you have those wooden tulips stored safely away for the trip? (BBwwaahhh)
How great you have that place to work on it! Wonderful!
Cant wait to see you all- fat or less fat.
