At Work w/ Freedman - 7/18-7/20

Our budding-architect friend Michael was up from NC for a visit this weekend.

Here he is ripping the paneling off of our den.  Look, John's clothes!  This particular closet does, in fact, open in the next room over as well.

Tetanus is for kids!

The week before, we had all-new windows installed in the back of the house.  They're "low-E" windows, which sounds awesome even if you don't know what it means.

We're painting most of the house in modest, restrained colors, so it seemed like the lawn furniture could use a little punching up.

The Cedar Chest - 7/13/08

Jill's dad built this great cedar chest for us to store blankets, etc.  It's also a pretty great bench and/or TV table.

I don't have to tell you: this smells pretty rad.

Meal 1 in the New Place

Keeping things pretty simple at this point.

Our makeshift living/dining/TV alcove.  Note the sweet coffee table.

The Move-In - 6/27/08

Things aren't as finished as we'd like them to be, but we're all boxed up and moved out of the old place.

Kitchen stuff is piled particularly high.  How did we acquire this ridiculous amount of stuff?
