Last week here

Things have continued to be busy. I feel like they are getting to know me at both Harpo's and Lowes (both home supply places) - never thought that would happen! Seems like I'm at one or the other at least once a day, sometimes, like yesterday and today, twice/day. Considering how many tools are sitting on the floor(all Larry's) you would guess that there were no tools we didn't already have to do the jobs around here. Not! I am now proud owner of many tools that I have no idea how to use, but which have been used to improve the house. And of course lots of supplies, nails, screws, plumbing connections, pipes, paneling, moulding, etc. etc.
Old papered panelling where paper came off the bottom
Continues up the stairs
Here's the old hallway pictures:


Weird molding off - might have been a vent

And the new ( still needs painting which most likely will not happen while I am still here this year) .Here's the current status:
Hallway pre-paint
Stairs after new panelling

New Microwave shelf is ready - before and after!






Grapes are ready - here they are cooking getting ready to make jelly.

  1. That stairwell must seen so mych brighter now. What a change. And that microwave shelf looks perfect - I like having mine over the cooktop - it's convenient and doesn't take up counterspace.

    No high winds here - not even extra heavy rain. We were in the open band in between the storm and the huge outer band, so the FL east coast got the most rain. We had rains off and on all day Mon but wasn't bad.
