The Endless Roof......


Well, the roof job that was supposed to take 5 days, is now on it's third week! I've been to Hawaii, made it through a Tsunami scare, and back home & it's still not finished. Someone help me please! LOL The interior of the house is too crazy to post. I'm thinking about having a paint party. I'll supply the adult beverages. Anyone interested? I'm serious. Anyway, things are not going according to plans. Now, on to Plan B. I'm just ready for the decorating stuff. I won't even get into the central heat/air status, but the unit is jacked up on bricks.  Here are a few pictures, nothing to write home about, but that's about all to report at this time:
Mollie is checking out the shingles. Now, if they were just on the roof!

Hopefully, I'll have more pictures & more progress to report next time. 
Stay tuned!

Day 7: Bad News!!!!

I haven't posted in a while because I've been teaching every day for 2 weeks. The latest news isn't good. My contractor fell off the roof & broke his leg and ankle. He had to have surgery. Therefore, the work is going rather slow. Anyone want to buy a rock house?
Here are a few pictures that I haven't posted:

This is a shabby chic door. It's actually a little too shabby for me. LOL. If anyone wants it, let me know.

This is my little screened in porch that has a door off of the kitchen, and another off the living room. The door off the living room had been previously taken away, but I'm restoring the door so that the porch will be accessible from the living room. 


This original sink will probably remain, but I'm planning on installing a cool goose neck faucet above. That should add a little class to the sink.

This ceiling had been converted to a cheap looking drop down industrial ceiling. Now it looks much better.

Here is a small portion of the green roof. Hopefully, it will all be green soon. LOL

 This is an old pressure cooker that was found in the attic.

I will be leaving for Hawaii tomorrow! Hopefully, there will be some progress while I'm away. Aloha!!!!!
