Mudroom ceiling going up. Needs trim still.

Thanks! Yes, that's for the fridge. We had to cut out that space and bump into a bedroom on the other side of the wall for it. There is just no good place for a fridge in the kitchen otherwise. We did ask the son of the PO (he's stopped by a couple times) and they put it between the door to the mudr...

It is, not surprisingly, causing problems. It is a small lot without storm drains at the road, or curbs fo...

Almost done on the full bath. Need some trim touch-up and to finish plumbing.

Thanks! Leave it to me to pick a hot sunny day to work in the one room that doesn't seem very cool (the downstairs in particular has a "natural ac" effect-even my contractor thought the house had AC when he stopped by the other day). Got the trim painted but need to install it, then the to...

I didn't think it was that bad lol. I need to read the blog.

The bathroom as of today. The hottest room in the house.
