working on the girls room

This has been a long process that started with the solar hot water panels out in the yard. Anthony has heated the water with the sun, stored it in the basement and is now heating the girls new bedroom with the sun's stored warmth. Here Ant has removed the old oak plank and is shimming the floor which was 3 inches out of level. He ran radiant flooring and restored the old floor boards.
After restoring the floor and sanding it himself he is staining the floor a dark Walnut and then finished it.

Now for the walls and creating a nice smooth canvas for me to work on. Two layers of ancient wall paper came off rather easy. With a little compound and some primer and flat white, my giant canvas was ready to work on.

Blues skies shinin on me, nothin but blue skies do I see...



A few peace cranes to bless my girls and give them something to dream about.



I will follow soon with more pictures. After a full day of working on the room my arm is killin me, but it will be worth it. We have all been sleeping in the same room since last spring... almost a year. I was just telling Ant yesterday it will be nice to have our own space again.
