Busy Days

Now we are busy tearing out dark panelling, old carpets, mudding and sanding drywall (under dark panelling), then on to prime-ing and texture. We bought Behr paint at Home Depot, because it has primer in it as well (otherwise, we would be adding more primer after the texture--this saves a step). The color is "Sandie Pecan" for the hallways, dining, living and master. The girls have chosen colors similar to their old bedrooms (turqoise and orange).

These pictures I sent to facebook from my cell phone (not sure why they are so small here...)

The right front gate (its a horseshoe driveway...)

The shop--aka the man cave...

Ron taking down panelling.

Fireplace and built-in...hmmm

Kitchen fluorescents...oi vay, everybody!

Sanding makes us gray faster!!!

and behind the fluorescent lights...carpenter ants! Death to the pests!

Fanatics at the pre-season Seahawks vs. Bronco game :D

First day at Coupeville High School

Looking north up North View Road you can see the water and Fidalgo Island (I think...)

The family at the turn-around (the end of Hastie Lake Road). We like to stop here and smell the ocean and take pictures :D

One of many glorious sunsets in the San Juans...
