Bathroom Sink Done

It's done! With working water and everything!


And might I remind you of the view when we started. No ceiling, no floor, just mold:

Pups

Rose and Fern are quite the pair these days. Not even 1 yet!

Bathroom Vanity

Here's the vanity that was purchased for the upstairs bathroom. There are 2 problems. The first is that we have to do some slicing and dicing to get it to sit back against the wall, due to that ridic (pre-existing) plumbing job. And the second is that the floor slopes about 2-3" so it needs leveled in a bad way.


Shades of Grey

With spring rolling around, we're ready to get serious about painting this house! Finally! The burning question is: What color?
It sits in a prominent place in the city and the yellow is kind of iconic at this point. White has also been kicked around. But we're finding that many Greek Revivals were traditionally painted grey to mimic the stone of the Greek temples. Here are a few examples we love.




And here's a grey-scale pic of our house, just to get an idea. At present it is yellow with green shutters.

Gas Leaks

What a fun way to kick off the spring! Just in time for our 2 year anniversary with the house the gas company informed us there are multiple leaks in the gas line - on both their side of things and ours. Gas has been off a few days now. No heat, no hot water. At least it's warming up outside. On the plus side, all those massive stumps in the front yard that have been needing to go are now history! Ya win some, ya lose some.
