there is a thin film of drywall dust just about everywhere in the house… my guy is very good about cleaning up after himself, but there is still lots and lots of dust…

the main floor is hardwood as are the bedrooms and I go barefoot in the house… I can feel the grit in each room I walk in…

the work is going very well… you can see from this picture that the closet looks amazing, even though it hasn’t been painted yet… all those huge holes have been filled in and it looks so much better…

closet with holes filled in…

it is amazing how difficult it is to manage without a closet… all of my clothes are in the computer room laying over bins and chairs, lol… hope it is done soon so they can get back where they belong…

the stairwell is looking good too… this is the first time it has been painted in twenty years, I am guessing… all the picture hooks have been removed and the holes filled in… I had a number of large pictures up, but am going to do something different…

stairwell from second floor…

am considering putting up a bunch of my flower pictures… or else family photos… still thinking about that…

stairwell from main floor…

I am going to have the kids come and help me put the closet back in order and finish the work I started on the book shelves in the hallway… I definitely hurt my back moving everything out of the closet and it is just starting to feel better… although apparently I walk like I just got off a horse, lol…

building a new nest I think…
