however the last one left a whole new side project:
filling in the gaping holes in the archways (2x) with joint compound. first coat applied.

Congrats on the progress!

I didn't realize you were removing the sliders.

Are you putting in French doors or just making them passage ways?

Is the Florida room insulated well enough for that?

What about the sliders to your room, did you take those out too?

thanks!'
leaving it open, its a very nice feel, and keeps that room cooler (rest of house temp). better for computing and the fishtank as well.

leaving the sliding door on the bedroom.

was up to 2 am last night finishing the prep, priming and painting (with H) the master bed and master closet. H took these pics with her iphone (crappy) , and got the now-too-warm-toned flouresents blaring in the shot. i adjusted that pic a little bit to match the first one. i will take better pics later, still need to do the white trim, but that is after we are done with the rest of the painting.


still working on the archways with joint compound - hopefully just one more coat (i was going to add water for the last coat and mix it. any one done this ? )

still need to get the rest of the paint and primer, but total so far:
$1092.85
