Projects

I am remodeling and have about six projects all going at the same time. I am painting the front porch, I am staining and finishing the stairs to the basement, I am hanging shelves in the basement, I have fall bulbs to plant, I need to put up a new mailbox, trees and bushes to prune and I want to finish my bridge over the creek before the rains begin..... and the list goes on........so much to do, so few daylight hours. I have most of the basement done now, and ready to put down the carpeting. But I want to finish the stairs to the basement first. Once they are done then I will order the carpeting......

It has been a long project, I started this about seven years ago, but illness made it impossible for me to work for several years. I am feeling better now, and have once again begun some of the projects that need finishing. The entire house needs painting, but I just do a bit each day. I promised Nick he would be in his basement bedroom before he started High School, he is now in his Junior year. I am now trying to finish before Christmas. I have the stairs to finish staining, and the trim to put up......

I am painting the walls in the stairwell and have them just about finished, all except the very middle part where I can not figure out where to put the ladder. Very hard to put a ladder on stairs.....
