What a difference one week can make! This past week was by far the busiest one the house has seen. Eric was working around the clock to get everything done before the drywall team came in...including pulling/hammering in thousands of nails left from the lathe and plaster, installing the microhood ventilation in the kitchen, building a sofit (sp?) around the kitchen, moving an electrical subpanel, moving some electrical switches, demolishing the plaster in the basement stairwell and installing the plumbing for a potential powder room in the future. Whew! In addition, the radiators were stripped, the insulation was packed into walls, and yesterday the drywall went up! No pictures of this yet though, sorry.
First up, we
have the radiators. Before this week, I didn't think it was possible to fall in love with such things, but now I can honestly say I'm in love with our radiators--every one of them. I might have to assign them names. Randy refinished one radiator last week...including priming and painting with an antique bronze color that has a tint of green in it when a camera flash hits it. Gorgeous! Because the radiators were doused with many layers of paint, we had no idea they had so much detail on them.
The next picture is a shot of Griffen (with our contractor's potato chips) checking out the new insulation in his room.
