Siding Complete - West Side1181 viewsHere's another view from Bailey's run. Here you can see how the gable was framed out further from the truss so there is a slight overhang. The fascia boards are also installed, but the soffit boards are not.

Pond1165 viewsAnother lovely view of the pond.

Inside View of Door1156 viewsHere's a view from inside the shed of Cathy working on the priming. Here you can also get a good view of the roll-up door in its rolled position.

Siding Complete1098 viewsThis pictures shows all of the siding installed, including the gables, which was a bit tricky. It also shows one of the corners trimmed out.

West Side1089 viewsHere's a view of the side of the shed, from inside Bailey's run. Having the shed this close to the fence makes for some tricky work. We had hoped to side the wall before we set it up, but the way the walls are staggered didn't allow for this. At the time this picture was taken, we had one panel of siding to go on the front, and the partial panel left to go on the side you see here, as well as the gable ends, which also need to be framed out so there is a slight overhang.

Side View1086 viewsHere is a view from the side of our home. The pond is shown here, and is actually "L" shaped, framing one corner and most of one edge of our yard. The pond has been a wonderful natural element-- ducks, geese, a large turtle, and many other animals have been frequent visitors, and have been fascinating to watch.

Almost complete1085 viewsWell, this is the part of the project we sort of forgot to take pictures since we were on a roll. At the time the next few pictures were taken, we were very close to complete. Here you can see an overview of the entire playground.

Starting the major assembly1076 viewsWe continued outside on Wednesday afternoon. Cathy holds up "frame two" so it can be attached to "frame one" and the base. Before this whole project started, we had to do some semi-major leveling of the area, since it was on a gradual slope down toward our pond (most of our yard is sloping in some way).

Upstairs Bath1068 viewsHere's a view of our upstairs bathroom, which we totally redecorated. As with most of the house, this room was previously entirely almond -- walls, trim, vanity... It didn't look bad but we wanted something a bit more colorful. We went with a olive/navy color scheme, redid all the trim in white (which we also did throughout the house), upgraded the light bulbs, and added a couple new brass towel bars. Eventually, we plan on redoing the tub/shower area (not shown) and perhaps a more major remodel later.

Flashing New Door1059 viewsHere the flashing is going around the new door to keep it weathertight.

|
Kitchen1044 viewsWe did some major redecorating in the kitchen, using green/gray faux-finish look, and changing the cabinets to white. We also added some new lighting, as the previous didn't light the room well. The kitchen has enough room for a small tableas well. After this picture was taken, we replaced the range hood with an over-the-range microwave, and added new blinds on the window.

Green Pond1039 viewsHere's a picture from fall 2002. As was said above, the pond had "greened over" with duckweed. Ducks kept residence until it iced over for the winter, though. You can see them to the left if you click the photo
