The unexpected...

 If you were expecting to see photos of the finished outside, you will be very disappointed.  Rain, fog....  However, life and birthdays still go on.  Today was our friend Susan's birthday - Happy Birthday Susan!  And to all of you who also had birthdays in October (Rita, Joey, Peyton and probably a few more), Happy Birthday to you too.  It was only because Susan came over and told me it was her birthday that I managed to shove aside enough paint cans to make room for a tea party P1 for Susan and for Gus P2 who's birthday is also in October.

P3 - Taken in Sept. you can just make out the kitchen.  Today we decided to clear it out P4 so we could redo the finish on the floor tomorrow.
P5 - The cats had never seen it so clean and were dazzled by their reflections.
P6 - I needed another photo so threw one in of the dining room - cleaned out of "extras" stored there as well.  No "before" shot of that one.
P6 - The Adirondack room as you last saw it the beginning of October and P7 now that it's finally back together.
P8 - The music room filled with stuff we had moved there while we renovated.  P9 - after sorting things out again.
P10 - The new room as it was yesterday.
P11 - The new room today filled with all the stuff from the kitchen.

We have B&B guests coming on Friday.  Will we have things back in order?  Stay tuned for my next post on Saturday...

And since I almost certainly missed it, Happy Birthday to you too!
