Work Party at our House

We have had a lot of our friends saying 'we want to come see your place' and 'hey, if you need any help give us a call...' The problem is that the pace of our remodel is less structured - it is hard to say, "come by on next Wednesday, and we will be changing doorknobs." Everything takes an unpredictable amount of time, and our energies & enthusiasm ebb and flow. We don't really know what we are working on until we start to work on it.

So we had the idea to have a work party, invite a bunch of our friends, and get them working on diverse projects throughout the house. It worked out fabulously! I am sure that we accomplished more last weekend than we would have been able to do in a month or more on our own! Here are some of the tasks that were accomplished:

Cut out baseboards, touch-up painting, painting cabinet doors, hanging pictures and artwork, painting baseboards, lining cabinets with cork sheeting, replacing doorknobs, setting a post with our house number and lights by the end of the driveway, putting up shelves in the office, hanging blinds and curtains, and unpacking & organizing lots of boxes of stuff.

The house is definitely looking much more home-like now. Thanks everyone for a lot of fun, and all your hard work!
