Garages Are the Best Things In Wintertime

There's not much else to say about this.  We have a garage with a garage door and security system, and it's keeping our cars free from snow and ice this winter.  It's incredible!!

Next year, K plans to run electricity to it, and she'll need to use an AC unit in there come summer.  We have some small finishing to do-- more painting on the trim, etc.  Little things that won't be a total pain to do when it's nice outside, and now that we're not rushing to complete it.

Office Ceiling - Part 4

Took a couple pictures of the office ceiling because it is sunny today!  It's so nice in here -- I have the ceiling light on, out of habit, but I hardly need to because the sunlight carries all through the room.

To the East...

To the West...

Lovely, sunny room! 

Office Ceiling - Part 3

Since I didn't post these last weekend, here are my last "progress" pictures and the finished product.

First, here's the scary scaffolding contraption that K put up over the staircase...  It was really stable, since it was resting on a wall, but it was scary to look down!

What a great girl I have!  She's almost finished... 

And now.... the finished ceiling.  I did take these pictures at night, so I'll need to take some during the day, too, because it looks totally different.  The light really shines off of the paint and reflects all over.

To the East...

And to the West...

I'm really happy with it, and I'm so glad I did it.  It's much easier to work on anything in this room, even in the dark evening winter hours.  And during the day it's just beautiful.
