One Year on the Road

Kate said the wallpaper in the downstairs hallway had to go.

So we scraped it all off.

And then we painted the walls and trim.

Fun with projects.

While we were at it, the closets all needed painting.

And we emptied the workshop and tiled the floor to use the space for storage.

I repainted the front porch and deck.

And we packed up the teardrop to store in Kathleen&#039;s garage.

We filled it to the rafters.

Neither was painting the window frames by the front door.

So much sorting to be done.

We hired out replacing the lower deck floor boards.

Alfredo and Pat did a great job.

I stained the bare places, then had to scramble to cover it from the rain.

Then we replaced all the old blue carpet.

There was a lot of it.

To list the house for rent, I had to take lots of photos.

But first, we had to clear away the junk.

This kitchen has never looked so zen!

This bathroom always looks really good.

I had to tidy up my office a bit.

Downstairs bathroom.

I got the breakfast nook on a sunny morning.

The deck...

My favorite summer spot.

The dining room...

Aly&#039;s room looks completely different.

A very tidy master bedroom.
