It was really exciting and a relief to have her back down on the ground. Just look at all the landscaping I will have to think about this spring. I do know that it will involve hedges and hostas. Other than that, all gardener's suggestions are welcome for inspiration.
When I was up at the Church last weekend. The forms had been removed and the basement floor poured. Walls AND floor. Now I had a nice clean dry basement where my 98% efficient heating system with tankless water heater is going to live and keep the church warm. Here's the basement. It no longer looks like a set in "Silence of the Lambs".
Another thing to keep the church warm is, of course, the woodstove. I have to say I am getting to like it more and more. I removed the mosaic around it's base (I had already demolished the brick "koi pond" surround) and felt like it was just looking cuter and cuter.
And you can now see that the wall behind the woodstove has been removed and you can see straight through on the left side to the patio doors and transoms.
And in another super exciting development, the three casement windows were installed in the upstairs bedroom loft.
When this room becomes all white; floors, walls and ceiling, it is going to be beautiful and serene.
What won't be beautiful and serene is my street, Ely Street, in the next couple of weeks as I have to rip it up for natural gas and proper water hook ups. Here's Ely Street last week in its autumn glory.
In the next couple of weeks I am hoping to have those hook ups in progress, the ceiling clad with tongue and groove in progress and kitchen design and cabinetry finalized and ordered and appliances finalized and ordered. Phew!
So here's a picture of Sparky. He always manages to keep me calm. Look at him.
