So Long To All Our Hard Work....
...It is about to get covered up by sheetrock.
About an hour ago, the inspector came by and gave us the "thumbs up" to our wish to cover up months and months of blood and money with relatively cheap sheet rock...All of our stud re-inforcement, our siesmic retrofitting, the oversized headers, the masonry patching and reinforcement, the lovely foam insulation, the sound attenuation, the smurf tubing, the new electrical, the new plumbing, and our oversized gas lines are no longer going to be visible for our daily enjoyment. So sad.
We are about to enjoy walls...something we haven't had in about two years--Kind of like when we transitioned from 3 years worth of scaffolding to a finished (nearly) exterior. It will take some getting used to, but we'll manage.
Wish us luck in the transition.

Just found your site and want to know more about your house -- history, location, etc. Can you provide a thumbnail sketch for us or direct us to another site where you may have already covered this aspect? Thanks
Hi, if you don't mind me asking, what are the paint color names that you used for your house? I have been looking for colors like that. Did you use Benjamin Moore as well?
Peter,
The paint colors are from Pratt and Lambert...4 different colors.
1. Bay Rum
2. Olive Bark (I think--olive something. It is the darker color)
3. Bayberry (lighter green)
4. Mission (cream color)
