Water, water everywhere

Hi.

We have several major developments to report, and so let's not waste any further time with the pleasantries.

Here's what's happening:

We begin with a picture of the paint for the railing's second coat:



Next, we turn our attention to the attic, where the insulation (bidud for the Hebraically-oriented among you) is basically up. There are still some spots that need to be taped, but most of it is finished, as you can see here:




And here:



And also here:




And, lastly, here:




In related news, YZG and the kablan spent a good deal of time hosing down the attic (hence the title). Unfortunately, however, we don't have an underwater photographer on our team, and so pictures are not available. You'll have to use your imagination for this one.


Meanwhile, the kablan finished painting the attic wall over the porch, as you can see here:



Now, I'm sure you'll agree that all of the above is quite fascinating. However, I've saved the best for last. Today's top story is that YZG put up four lights today:


1) In the downstairs bathroom

[Ed. - Due to presumed lack of interest, no pictures of this particular light will be published. Please note that this light fixture is identical to the one in the upstairs bathroom. Our readers can find a picture of the upstairs bathroom light here.]


2) Over the couch, as you can see here:



And here's a close-up:



3) Over the dining room table:



And here's a close-up of one of the glass bowls:



Please note that the lights are currently way too low. YZG hopes to I"YH raise them closer to the ceiling when he has time.


4) On the wall over the stairs leading to the second floor:



That's about it for now.

Watch this space for any and all future developments.

  2. The lights are really nice--quite "enlightening" ;) It really adds to the finshed look. Does that means that all the public areas downstairs have fancy lights now?
    Do all the lights use green lights (i.e. energy saving and all that)? It's very up-to-date to say one's house is considerate of the environment. Remember the global warming!!
    On that preachy note, I will say that it all does look nice. Actually the insulation is a green thing. You are OK.

  4. I forgot to comment on the title. This one is good and thanks for adding the missing one. It felt lonely without its own title.
    See you tomorrow...

    Correct.

    Yes. After all, we are very PC here at Our Shiputzim (plus it saves money!). :-)

    I will say that it all does look nice.
    Thanks.

  8. where is everyone going tomorrow?
    Yeah, see, here's the thing: We really would have loved to invite you, but your alleged "anonymity"
    ::snicker::
    does put a bit of damper on that. I mean, exactly where should we send the invitation?

    :-)

  9. well the least you could do is to write out the details and say since there was a problem with the mail, please consider this as a personal invitation.

  10. please consider this as a personal invitation
    Umm, yeah, but - how shall I put this nicely? - our parents taught us never to talk to strangers, and I always took that to mean that we shouldn't be inviting them over either...

    :-)
