Workin', Just Workin'

Day after day we have been AT the projects that will allow us to begin our new life in The Big House in Old Town Suisun City. She paints, scrapes and obtains the hardware, furniture and materials we need to complete the remodel of 311 Suisun Street. We've been at it now for the last 5 weeks and I feel we have done about half of what is required. The kitchen tile work which is quite extensive is about 2/3rd finished. The back portion adjacent to the oven stack has not yet begun but the east side, with it's sink and stove top is nearly complete. The island 4 X 4 1/2 feet is nearly done as well with only one side left to edge tile. I've been working on all of that tile as well as adding new countertop electrical outlets too. It's tough adding electrical to an already completed circuit as one has to cut into the drywall and position wires right against the stud framing. Kelly has been scraping away at the many layers of paint that obscure the redwood of the door frames and doors, not an easy task but she is determined and today she was joined by our daughter A who worked on the front door all afternoon. The whole is coming along, slowly but surely. We sleep well at night and sometimes come home about 4pm and crawl into the sack for a 2 hour nap before dinner. Such is life these days. Much work and only a bit of play.
