countdown to grandma: 9 weeks
saturday was a steady work day. progress with few photos.
(left) second entrance, exterior before. (right) mathew caulking siding gaps after scraping old paint.
mathew spent most of his weekend outside on the ladder, (right) and up on the roof after a small scaffold was made. i spent most of saturday stripping interior trim paint.
on sunday mathew started by prepping areas that i would work on. (left) drilling a hole for wiring to come through the wall from upstairs. (right) mathew removing paneling in the stairwell leading to the garage.
(left) i spent sunday making this built-in cabinet pretty again. (right) mathew working above the second entrance.
i added insulation. strange stuff with plastic instead of paper.
(left) my cabinet with new gypboard. (right) late night painting. the neighbor came by and asked “when do you sleep?” it didn’t feel that late but it was COLD. mathew should be wearing a sweatshirt…
it was a late night, and mathew’s birthday! we had dinner after 10pm and vegan ice cream for dessert.
