More progress made downstairs this weekend. G has been manically ripping off Drywall in the bathroom and replacing it with some sort of waterproof material followed by concrete board which you can then tile. Next he'll fit a shower basin thing and start the tiling work. We are trying very hard to get it done before Dad visits in March.
While he was doing that I managed to de-junk the Library and make it habitable. I threw out tons of junk, evacuated piles of stuff to their proper homes, the books are neatly on the shelves, the large volume of dust vacuumed and removed, and the futon covers washed. It looks alright! There's not alot else needs doing in there other than trim replacing / adding and a few bits of wiring. So that leaves 3 rooms down there still full of boxes and dust to contend with. We're getting there - slowly but surely. Can't say this home renovation stuff is fun but it is beginning to feel like home and the promise that we originally saw in the place is beginning to shine through.
