HSH Interior Renovation Update

A beautiful, warm and sunny day in Dublin, GA today. Put up some Christmas lights today and yesterday. Not quite done with decorating the exterior of the house but it is beginning to look like Christmas- the cold and snow :)...John finished painting the interior of the tub. The tub is completely done! All that it needs is new hardware, which will be installed tomorrow. The tub looks brand new. John did a wonderful job refinishing it. He is very good at restoration, painting, repairs, woodworking, plumbing and even car repairs! He even acts, plays tennis, is an near computer expert, teaches accounting, does income tax preparation for individuals, small businesses and corporations and is a CPA. He loves to travel and will once again breed Doberman Pinchers. Max will be a daddy one day. Talk about multi-talented!!

I primed the utility closet tonight until I ran out of primer. The painting in the bathroom should be completed by the end of the week in between the work the contractors have to do. Tomorrow will be a busy day for us and the contractors. All the plumbing upgrades in the bathroom will be done. The shower will be functional. We will have a new toilet and sink. All the cabinetry should be installed by tomorrow. The base trimwork needs to be done as well as some crown molding near the shower. A heat light needs to be installed above the shower. I look forward to taking a long, nice, HOT, relaxing shower in my house and walking on a floor with clean, beautiful porcelin hexagon tiles. Within the next two weeks, just over 20 days, all the purchasing and installation to have a functional, working, modern, up to date house will be accomplished!

No more living like campers. John even removed the portable camping heater and propane tank that we used for taking hot showers. It worked great. It served its purpose. Now, it is time to put it away and use it for our next camping adventure! We plan to have white plantation shutters installed for the 2 bathroom windows. Eventually, all the windows in the house will have white plantation shutters installed because they fit the interior/exterior decor, are practical, easy to clean/care for and have great curbside appeal. Alot of homes of this type or similar architecture have them. It gets very hot here in the summer. It almost feels like Florida heat and humidity.

A kitchen designer will be out here tuesday to help us choose and set up a basic, functional kitchen so we can get electrical and appliances installed and hopefully new flooring too. A friend of John's will be doing the kitchen plumbing. I look forward to cooking real meals again. We plan to have stairs installed in the back of the house so we can use the space above the kitchen as an attic to store stuff and move everything out of the GWTW room. The house is 3000 square feet so we might as well utilitize all the space we can. One of the upstairs bedrooms will be converted into closet space and sitting room.

The day is about to come to a close to a long Thanksgiving weekend. Tomorrow is a new day and the start of a new week and tuesday, the first day of December. Enjoy the pictures from today and keep checking my blog for updates as the house continues to modernize.
