The Next Project

Now that the garage is done, we have started the next project, the master suite. We have been pretty much non-stop with these renovations since we moved in last year, but this one is particularly important since the bath was so tired and outdated.

We have moved out to the south end of the house and gave control to the master bedroom and bathroom to our contractor. Every other room in the house now holds some remnants of the bedroom - so we are in a bit of disarray here.

Progress is going very well (especially compared to the pool build last year) and we are hopeful that we'll be moving back in within the next few weeks or so.

We are expanding the shower and installing a glass enclosure, moving the closet door to the bedroom (it was in the bathroom, which drove us crazy). All new cabinets and granite counters and of course, all new fixtures. The electrical, plumbing and sheet-rock work are done.

Here are some images of the progress.

Gecko Visitation Day

We've had a gecko (actually, they are brown lizards very common here in Florida) trapped in our lanai over the past few weeks and as hard as we have tried to get him free, they just run too fast. Today, he - or she - had a visitor from the outside (look on the other side of the screen), so we felt that time was served and we let him escape to the other side. Grace said this was good karma.
