Excuses, excuses

It has been a while since my last post - and I have heard from several sources about it! Sorry about that, but as I told my sister tonight, taking pictures of the second coating of mud on the walls doesn't make for great photo-journalism. (Like this is anything close to great photo-journalism!) Not to mention my camera has been on the blink, and many of the photos are turning out looking as if they camera has been imbibing in psychedelic drugs. I'm trying to squeeze some good ones out - but may need to actually purchase a new camera.

Anyway, in the spirit of getting up to date, progress is being made. First, the basic framing for the deck has been done, and once it gets inspected and the rest of the material is delivered later this week, they can continue on the deck. But in the meantime, inside they have indeed put the additional layers of mud on and were sanding it smooth yesterday. Today the painter did much of the priming as well.
And yes, unfortunately, the table is back in the living room, at least temporarily. This week's goal is to replace the living room windows with the new ones, so they match the other new windows.
In the meantime, I have been searching the Southland (and the Internet) for the perfect cabinet knobs/pulls. It is so small, yet such a big decision. The cabinets are supposed to be ready sometime the week of the 15th, so I better get my camera working by then.
