Coming along...

Here's a photo I took today just before we started vacuuming up the dust from the floor refinishing. You can see through the kitchen, and down the hallway with the 'moorish' doors that Nancy likes so much. You can also see the two 'cut-outs' we made on both sides of the door from the kitchen to the living room. These have worked out great; they let more light into the kitchen, which tends to be a little dark on the north side of the house. I've been doing so much work that you can't see...but over the last couple weeks, a lot of 'finish work' has happened, and it shows. I forgot to mention that Danny Dollar and his crew from Dollar Painting helped us out with the interior paint. The colors Nancy chose are beautiful, and the Dollar boys did a good job putting them up. One coat of high-bonding primer on everything (including ceilings), then two coats of Sherwin-Williams 'Duration Home' interior paint, with light sandings in between. The 56-year-old walls look great.
