Pellet heads!! What's up today?

West Virginia got nailed too!!

 

Yes X2 for WV

Sad deal for sure.

Prayers sent

 

Got more tedious hand work done on the project yesterday.

Really coming right down to the end of things here soon

A few tid bits left to wrap up here and there, but getting real close.

Some pix of What was and what is now.

I was standing in the kitchen last night looking through the dinning room into the living room and had to go "Wow" what a difference.

Still need to paint the little logs into the wood box, but nearly finished.

Lamenting on what to do with the mantle ???

Originally I was going to do it in the Medium grey to match the other two horizontal "shelf" areas on the left side, but there has been suggestions around here to leave the wood natural and let it age.

I am still leaning towards the medium grey to keep continuity of the theme.


Ahhhh well.

Maybe someone here has some input on this ????


Went to the depot yesterday and picked up a paintable "stone look" outlet cover and painted it to blend into the scheme of things,

The white plastic cover just did not get it.

 

That gets my vote

 

Sounds good

 

I vote for natural wood

 

So be it
Wood is good

 

holy crap! Sounds like you guys had a very fun and productive day on the water!

 

Couple pics from yesterday's ride up in Weissport, PA. Looks like today will be another gem here!

 

Just some random pic's from around the office this weekend keeping things alive and green .

 

Looking great.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pix

 

You are most welcome .

 

Got a bit of painting done today.

The last little bit is about 5 sq ft maybe.

Thinking about painting the little logs in the wood box.

Really getting tired of spreading paint.

Ah well, such is life.

Got rid of the two display cases that were in the living room yesterday.

They are either gonna get sold at a friends garage sale or they are going to the dump.

Enough of the junk ok

With those suckers gone there is a ton of room now.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss

 

It is amazing what we can do when we let go of some stuff that has been in the way. I had most of a whole houseful of stuff to part with when we did the make over. End result is everything is mostly new. All new floors, walls, new plumbing, water and heating, all new electric wires and outlets. Every room is new. This time we got what we wanted. I could use some more storage, but you know, no matter what, that will always be true. Only thing we kept was some of the windows. Others were all changed out. I did keep my Harman. That was only three years old.

 

Rally enjoy your pictures. That Verbinum is beautiful. Ours came and went, but our Japanese dogwood is in full flower. I prefer that because the flowers last so long.

 

Did the final touches on the fireplace hearth thingy

Added some logs to the wood box.

(I may try to add a forced perspective to the logs to give the illusion of depth, not sure)
Gotta fiddle with that on some scrap paper first with a sharpy before going after the actual stuff

I am pleased with the outcome to say the least.

Really adds some depth and a cozy atmosphere to an otherwise blah corner.
