Okay folks I’m in a super grumpy mood, which may have to do with a blistery rash to be pictured soon… So in light of the grump, what I’m going to do this week is just post a bunch of the pictures with minimal comments. You know, if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say (much). And all that.
This week my dad and I pressure washed the outside of the building and the sidewalk. It barely made a difference. Egg stains are still 80% intact. Boo.
I weeded the sidewalk, which did make a difference…
A difference that can be mainly found on my arms. And neck. And shoulder, eye, and I’m pretty sure my hair.
The guys worked on the final details of the studio apartment. It looks good, but it feels like it is taking forever…
Got the pantry we decided to keep all painted up, and almost in working order. I’m wondering if they just think I won’t notice that 2 of the drawers don’t have bottoms on them…
Got some of the light fixtures… this is the porch light for the studio apartment. I like the utilitarian look of it, and it was super cheap. Score.
The most expensive light fixtures in the place were the ceiling lights for the studio… they look awesome and seem almost worth what I paid for them. They have a nice washing effect on the brick walls. Cool.
Not sure what the heck happened with the shelves in the bathroom… usually the guys are pretty good at making things line up, but all I can say here is “uhh…” I dunno maybe they did it in the dark. That’s an excuse, right? That or we can blame my architect OCD.
I also got a shipment of light fixtures that I ordered online having never seen in person. This worked out for about 75% of them, but I’ll get to that next week. The funny part is that most of the boxes have the word “farm,” and at least one picturesque pasture scene somewhere on them… I don’t think this is a coincidence, as I’m feeling kind of overwhelmed this week, cranky, and just wishing I was off on a farm somewhere hanging out with some ponies next to a babbling brook or something…
Alas I’m here chasing down parts and people and numbers… but we’re almost done! That’s the good news. The sad part is next week should have been the last and final week of construction, but it’s definitely not going to be. The studio’s all ready for me to pass it on to its new lover, but there’s still a ton of work to do in the other apartments… but some day, eventually, we’ll be celebrating. Promise.
