Rock N Roll !

I've titled this post Rock N Roll because that's exactly what we're doing; Rockin N Rollin.  Since my last post, we have torn out, wired, and drywalled two more bedrooms.  We are ready for a visit from Wallboy!  I'm getting ahead of myself.
  Let's start with John and Sunshine's room. Dewey came up to help, He and Superman put in a new window and framed out the cieling to prepare for drywall. Our friend, Eric, came up to help Superman with hanging the drywall. I worked on tearing the rest of the stairway wall out.  Have I mentioned how much I love these windows? They belong in the woods and they are just beautiful!


 Superman built the closet in our room. It's small and fits just inside our door.  It's just perfect.

We stayed home for Easter weekend.  When we skip a weekend, it feels like forever since we've been at the cottage.  But when we went back the next week, the plan was to tear out the hallway and finish up some small jobs.  When we tore out the hallway, look what we found; I think it's a loom. I have to ask our friend, Jim, next door. It may have belonged to his grandmother. Jim told us that the bathroom was the room his grandmother used to weave rugs! The bathroom was outside!  The hallway tear out went quicker than expected. So we dove into Ladybug's room.  Before we knew it, we were putting in insulation and starting to hang more drywall.   I help Superman as much as I can, but there are some jobs that I'm not needed so I find other things to do, like paint furniture! I also painted a couple of the bedroom floors. And those people on Pinterest are so darn clever! I saw those dominos and had to make some for myself.  They will go in "Uncle's" room.

Gross! 


This is where the roof meets the addition.


This is a typical scenerio: Superman working, Ladybug "helping" and Roxy stealing something! 

On the following weekend, we finished drywalling Ladybug's room.  The main project for that weekend was to put in the new kitchen door.  In a previous post, Superman and his helpers cut into the wall and put a door in.  That door was just temporary until we bought a new one.  This is the new door.  It lets so much light into the kitchen, I just love it.    





New door!! 

We are headed back to the Redberry this weekend. We have a new little window for Ladybug's room and one for the hallway. We hope to finish the drywall. Before you know it, I'll be moving our bed upstairs....yay!!
Just a shout out....we can always use help, so let us know if you would like to come spend a day and lend a hand. I'll feed you!
