Have windows now

There are two sets of casements along the long north wall of the addition. The east wall which faces the ice house has a french door flanked by two casements. The south back side of the addition has two sets of windows also.

ice house interior decoration underway; windows delivered

Whimsical chest of drawers, olive drapes, and rug installed. Big stacks of windows including sliding doors for porch were delivered. Since windows are here, siding can begin soon.

New version old door

The siding will get painted yellow and the decking is dark gray. The door is the original one from 1909. I had it dipped to get rid of many layers of paint. Then I stained it a chestnut color, put on 2 layers of satin finish polyurethane, added privacy film that looks like arts and crafts stained glass, and choose a dark lockset. Looks fantastic if I do say so myself.

more framing

Front doorway was widened for 36 rather than 32" door. Framing for the first of three coffers has been started. Beam was added underneath ice house floor so it now connects to concrete block pillar. And the framing for the gas fireplace was completed. The issue for that was the size of the double sided firebox and enough interior space in the chase (column going up) to contain the flue.

no activity but purchasing

Found a tweed area rug with browns, rusts, and greens for $30 .. Score! Also purchased some olive green drapery panels and nickel finish rods. Cheaper to buy than can get material and sew them up myself. Will have to hem.

gravel in case of rain; heating/cooling unit almost in

Interesting that the wires and connections for the heating/cooling unit run thru what looks like a drain spout. Keeps it neat though. We also put some gravel down at the breezeway stairs in preparation for the next rain. It will cut down on the mud and keep mosquitoes from breeding in the puddle.

Ceiling fan is up in ice house

Looks cool and makes interesting shadows on the ceiling.
