Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


Remodeling, Day 8

The remodeling is coming along nicely. I’m about halfway through; by the weekend, I’m hoping to move some of the furniture back into the living room. Even though I rarely watch tv, I miss those 15 minutes of sitting down to the news occasionally.

I’m going to put the pictures below the break to save on bandwidth:

Let’s start in the kitchen, where the old sliding glass door was removed and replaced with shiny sparkling french doors. Here’s the before shot:
Morning Love, Here is the before shot, for comparison purposes.  I like the french doors much better, as you can clearly see in the picture, the sliding door only came with a puppy, but the french door comes with a hunk of a guy (my kinda guy).
And here’s the new door. I’m not sure if Diane was taking a picture of the door or me as I seem to be in the way. 😛
And would you look at the construction crew, this one\'s a real hunk!

There’s still some trim work to be done there, but the major part is done.

For the living room, I posted the demolition-in-progress pics last week. Yesterday, they finished preparing the concrete in the living room, and by tonight, new cherry wood flooring should be in place. Before/after pics to follow.

You’ve also seen the bathroom before pics; the new tiling is almost complete and should be finished up today. Here’s the hole left when they demolished the old tub:
Yes, I have indoor plumbing. Why?
And here’s the new tub in progress:
There is a hole in my bathroom, dear Liza, dear Liza.

No real work has been started in the study; it’s mostly a storage room right now. The foyer is nearly complete; here’s a before pic during the demolition:
Jen-wine concrete floors, by golly!
And after, all the pretty new slate with decorative black diamond granite:
Pretty slate with black diamond granite inserts.

More pics later, I hope. 🙂

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
