We cleared out the linen closet area to make room for some final reinforcement for shelves, then drywall 

Here's the door 

90% finished with the storage area above the closet. the door has been prepped and now we just need the rough opening for it above the closet. Pam and Bill came up today, sunday, to help us out and take Momiji because she is getting spayed tomorrow..  

Well we piled stuff up in front of the wall but the 'study room thing' got a new wall where the bookcases are going to be. Adam ram CAT5 to kitchen, LR, BRM1, Study, BRM2... 5 Lines.. thanks once again.  

worked into the night and then had some great ribs for dinner... 

We drove down to Mechanicsville to see Adam and Jessica. I helped him do some deck work and he came up the next day to help me run CAT5 

Hung another wall of drywall... learning as we go.. 

more wonderous drywall!!! cant wait till it is everywhere as far as the eye can see :) also want to take the time to congratulate stacey adn jeff on their recent engagement :) we wish you much happiness now and forever :) 

wendy gets dirty sanding away at the skylight.... we also sanded and primed the exterior of the front porch on joe's side... primed it and finally finished up after dark with some help from willy...  

much thanks to gregg for his help... we hope he is able to make it back ! 

drywalling is sooo much fun... willy and gregg get started on the bedroom on a sat am...  

Momiji put some paw prints on this, but you can see how we sanded the whole piece down and stained it.. It will need another coat then water seal.. The finish work around the door will be poplar wood stained the same color... So that makes our theme and blue/gray, maroon, white, dark stained kinda them =) We'll have to coat the deck with some protection the next time we get decent weather.. we hope to do it in the next month... 

The small window casing on the back.. it needed a lot of sanding and puddy because of weather damage.. its coming around.. we will work on the actual window at some point, but at least the casing is done and protected from the weather.. 

the finished kitchen window 

The basement door and window.. still some touch up paint to do.. but its mainly done... notice the tile mosaic.. some old broken up pieces from Reservoir Hill 

Beth's smile before spending a good portion of the day beating plaster off a wall and making a mess of our place.. 

just so beautiful... who says a city can't be green.. 

this is the park we walk momiji to... there are usually some other dogs for her to play with...  

the leaves in the park were great today.. 

random shot.. on the way to take momiji to the park 

Our block with the leaves changing 

here she is.. all worn out.. I have the greatest wife in the universe...this is the first time I've seen her asleep with her eyes open.. her left eye is freakin me out man ...=) 

Momiji winding down for the evening, after Beth washed her bed...
