Should I paint or should I paint...

As I drove up to the house Saturday afternoon, this is what greeted me...

Well, and this...

so...you might have seen the other photo but I was asked to please remove it...

Anyway.. Rich had taken all Saturday morning and stripped the airlock.  Now maybe I need to tell you a little about the airlock..  You can see the blue gray door to it in the above photo. That's a screen door. And the latch doesn't work.  You walk through there and to the right is a solid front door, which leads to the living room.   This is what was on the walls of the airlock..

I don't even know what that is, but it seemed to be shellacked to the walls.  There was no pulling it off... so we had to cover it up.  Rich said yelled  didn't want to do any more demolition...  So we talked about what we could put over it.   I guess I wasn't in on this decision...

By the time I arrived there was only one wall left to do.....  Alrighty then... let's go with it...

I helped put the last two walls up and painted it the same pale yellow as the living room, hall and kitchen...  It took awhile but it grew on me and it really lightened up that area...  I wish I had a before photo..it was hideous.. that dark brown shellacked whatever it was on top and some kind of paneling on the bottom...

The master bathroom was also tackled this weekend..

Vanity and toilet installed...by Rich by himself..

Door going in... We did finish installing it

The deadbolt and lock set installed on the back door by ME (with a lot of help)!!   I guess I need to do a bit more painting...

Rich up on the roof of the sun room... There was a leak so he braved the heights and sealed it up...

Ok...The photo above just makes me laugh...  I took the photo while I was watching Rich on the roof..(I also took the new header photo) ... If that doesn't look like the Beverly Hillbillies ...I don't know what does...   Of course the ladder on the deck isn't always there...just today so Rich could get on the roof...but even taking that away...look at that mess.  Two levels of deck and the bottom has that ladder hanging down into the yard.  That's the ladder that used to lead right to the above ground pool...that we paid someone to take away..  Even though it doesn't look like it, the rest of the deck is in fairly decent shape.  Sure, it needs a good power wash and we will chop that ladder off and close that up...and put the BBQ pit on the lower level..

But right now...that photo just gives me the chuckles... It so represents the shape the rest of the house was in...
