Chimney and Tile

Chimney Chimny ShowerTile ;BathFloor"

Here are a few pictures of what has been going on in the house during the last week. The Chimney has been repaired–there was some water damage, a large crack, and a big hole through to the outside where there was an old fireplace insert. They were able to match the old brick pretty closely, although the new bricks aren’t quite as big, so the mortar lines are a bit thicker. Next pictures are the bathroom mid-renovation. The tub is in, the tile is almost done for the shower, and the floor tile just needs grout. The rest of the house is coming along as well…the walls and ceiling have new texture(covers old repairs and makes everything look newer and more modern). I was a bit skeptical at first, but now I think it really looks great. The ceiling has been painted a pure white, which has brightened up the whole house. They will finish the last of the ceiling and paint the walls on Monday. We have chosen a very soft beige for the entire house. With white doors, trim, fixtures, and counters, it should look clean and modern when everything is complete. More pictures to come…

New Camera

Posted by Cynthia

I have been looking for a new camera for myself, and I finally decided on the Canon PowerShot A570 IS from buydig.com. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but with free shipping and no sales tax, it was really a good deal. This camera got great reviews, and shouldn’t be too difficult for me to use. Now I will have a camera with me wherever I go, so I can take lots more pictures!!
