Johnny Depp has left the area
This weekend I was able put 3/4ths of the boat dock in. The water is really cold, yes we have a thawed out lake now. I put on the waders and put the dock in. I think water is just above freezing. Putting in the first 2 sections was easy. But when I got to the 3rd section, some water got into the waders and... Wow! That was cold. The 4th section needs repair before it goes and it needs to warm up a little bit.
I started or restarted the work on the downstairs bedroom. Here are some images.
The top image is the Family room. As you can see it's painted. I am using it for storage. The middle image is the frame for the pocket door. I ordered the doors for it this weekend. They are glass doors in a Cherry wood frame. As you can see I might have over engineered it a little (but the main support beam for the house runs right above the frame. The bottom image is the bedroom. I pulled out the 2 closets and 1/2 the drywall. And if you look very closely you will see the reason I am pulling down the drywall...black mold.
The wall to the left in the bedroom will be partially removed. The closest will go on that side. Actually the closets will be in the next room. We are pulling out the summer kitchen in that room. And I thought the closest would be better if not against the foundation. And the back wall will be totally redone. It's going to be rebuilt following something I saw on Holmes on Homes; 2 inches of rigged foam installation and then the stud wall will be built next to that. And if I can find it...paperless drywall. If not then Green board.
And for those who know my pet peeves.....That black outlet will be replaced with an Almond color one. But moved over since that is where the closet door will be. You also can see the lights I put in, 3 on each side. I am keeping the fake parquet floor; it's kind of growing on me. Wait that is black mold!

No, the parquet will NOT be staying and YES, that is black mold.
Love, Susan
