Kids Bathroom Functioning

Well, it was a big moment... Ken trouble-shot himself through some masterful custom plumbing maneuvers and we now have both sinks up and running well. Suzan can't get past the fact that the new fixtures look like a pepper mill stuck in a urinal, but she'll get over it, because it's exciting to have something new and unique (and finished). ;-)
Next we have to tackle the walls and hardware.

Paint + Construction : Part 2

Last night, Hayden's floor had a final coat of porch paint – the dry air and mega-fan is curing it nicely. Construction on the studio shelving was also complete, including a storage spot for our Pinguino friend. It just needs paint, but that will have to happen later... our efforts need to stay focused on getting the studio stuff out of hayden's (now) closet and getting his room set up. We couldn't resist putting one of his things in its place on the cap shelf before the move happens. We LOVE it!!

Paint + Construction

Progress continued tonight after the first priority of getting new tires on the Subaru. Suzan finished the 2 coats of white paint on Hayden's wall planks while Ken worked next door in the studio, getting a jump on the closet storage shelving. Construction is at around 75% to completion. Lower humidity makes for happy campers.

Wall Paint - Hayden's Room

It was a slow re-start to the projects this evening. Not only was Ken not feeling well, but he wacked his foot and ended up watching Leno with an ice pack on. Suzan started to apply the satin white wash paint to the wall planks... decided against the smooth finish of a roller and went with an old bristle-brush to encourage a bit of horizontal texture. Put the laptop on the garbage can and played software training videos...I know, scary. It was way too hot to finish and Suzan discovered that sweat and sunburn are not very complementary to each other.

DISCLAIMER

For those of you who may think we are slacking, here is the official Knotthaus disclaimer: Last week was vaca (ahhhh) and this week... well, 100º+ temps, high humidity and NO AC in any room except the studio... 'nuf said.
