Grout, Roof & Paint

If we had a decent wi-fi connection, we would post some pictures of our progress over the past couple of weekends. But, we don't. So, you'll have to use your imagination for the time being.

The kitchen, back hall and laundry room have been tiled and grouted. Grouting is hard on the knees, back, arms, etc. Too much bending and crawling on the floor. With the first floor done, a large part of the tiling is complete.

We have begun painting the front two bedrooms. The small bedroom was originally a color called "Island Blue." It ended up being more purple than blue (you won't be able to tell this from the pictures). We decided to go with a lighter shade. The big front room is a rose color. We got that one right on the first try.

The roofers have shingled the back of the house and are working on the copper box gutters.

Lastly, a new cat has arrived in the neighborhood. She's a marmelade cat that looks kind of like Morris. The neighbors have been calling her Sammy, and she answers to it. Very sweet.
