Rain. OMG, winter has FINALLY ARRIVED.
And Studio Grande-in-progress has HALF a roof. Just half. The other side being nekked plywood. The skylights are in, all four of them. But Mr. Spouse wasn’t sure of the flashing, the stuff that makes them water-tight. With the storm door now open and rain/snow predicted all this week and beyond, he tarpped ’em, Danno. Just to be safe.
The side that has the roof, you know, shingles and stuff, did not leak at all in last night’s rain. That side has been the major leaker in the past so we are very pleased.
But the nekked side has two tarps. Because it leaks. This is the view from the back door of our house.
And this is the hobbit door. It will be painted red. And the bungee cord will be replaced with a real door knob.
There are other things to be done inside, less dramatic as far as photos go but enough to keep us busy since all outside work is on hold until the weather clears. Which could be weeks.
I say us but I really mean Mr. Spouse. It’s my studio but his project.
And I’m not complaining at all.
Wow Susan! The setting is beautiful! You must be so excited to get it all set up, I know I would be. I would probably be doing alot of day dreaming looking out of you awesome windows.
Hugs, Stephani
Excited? Oh yes indeed, Stephani! Seeing this grow from an idea just a few months ago to what it is now to what it will be in a few more months…very satisfying.
The outside area under the bank of windows? I’ve got plans to level out the hillside, pave it with stones, line it with lavender and put my Mom’s white all weather ‘wicker’ armchairs and her little glass topped patio table out there. A cozy little area she would’ve loved and I WILL love. xo
The lavender garden sounds divine! You can sit outside and share a cup with her…tea that is…or not…
That’s the plan, Donna : )
