closets in the susan/english visitor suite
the skylights are almost boxed in. the drywallers removed the safety rails around the opening and planked it over to use as a staging for the higher walls.
look beyond the piles of tools and imagine built-in bookshelves filling these slots.

the process of hanging the drywall creates hundreds of off-cut bits which are being tossed through the floor opening...
...into a big pile on the kitchen floor.
the tub has been delivered. the protective plastic covering makes it look like a salad bowl covered in saran wrap.
Just as the sun was going down tonight, I snapped a few shots of the changing colours of Dingle Road. Like a winter storm changing fall to winter, the 3 person team of drywallers has been gradually turning the house white. Gone are the yellows and golds of the timber framing. Wood elements will return when the flooring is laid and the bookcases are in but for now it is a dusty white world. The mud arrives tomorrow and with that stage comes another blanket of gypsum snow.

The English visitor likes the cupboards (wardrobes, closets, presses), thank you!
I'm so impressed by all the planning that goes into this. Do you sometimes feel a pang of fearfulness about having forgotten something that you won't remember until it's too late? I would!
rachel, I am one big pang. Trying to push away the "shoulda, coulda, wouldas" is major work for me. My zen master in Thailand is helping me to remember to enjoy the process.
"I am one big pang"
now that's a great quote - instead of ping, ping, ping it's a pang, pang, pang ... tres differenté.
All I can say is Wow !! & all those jealous readers I'm booked in at Casa Dingle for an early May sleep over - can you say Susan's Suite ? xoxo s + gang
lots of reciprocating sawing here at Black St - plumbing (sung by a chorus of angels)
