Calm Before the Storm

Well, I had a couple pictures to post, but can't find my camera cable. They weren't very interesting anyway - the shower door is down, deadbolts are installed, leafy trim is down from the living room, and the place is a lot cleaner thanks to Drea.

Not too much activity yet, so far its mostly been prep - getting quotes for siding and the basement (need to resupport one corner), and evaluating the bathroom and front porch projects. Until the foundation work is done not much else will happen - it has the potential to crack windows and drywall and mess up doors, so I'll let that happen before doing any serious work.

The one exception is demo in the bathroom and the basement ceiling. I'm planning on replacing the bathroom walls and ceiling, and upgrading the electrical wiring while the walls are open. Also, the ceiling in the basement needs to go (some mold, and is wavy - obviously had severe water damage at one point, although it seems dry now). All of this can be done without worry from the foundation project, but I need to time the dumpster right - I want to have a full weekend to work on this. The end of semester is next week, so i have a paper this weekend and finals next week, which means this project will probably be the week after.
