Productive day…
Posted by mybloomnart on April 9, 2008
Well, today is nearing to a close…and I got lots done this day! I’ve been doing real good diet wise. On the blog Path to Freedom they have a kick ass granola recipe that I have been making almost weekly. Because that is how often we go through the stuff. So as long as we have this in the house…that is what I have for breakfast.
Here is Richie putting in the windows. You can see the cherry trees blooming outside in the front yard.
We are still working on the living room…and have put in new energy efficient windows. The old ones were from the early 80’s (original to the house) and only single pane. The fireplace is all painted and Richie almost has the trim done on it , the baseboards and the crown. What a difference a wider trim board makes. It updates the house tremendously.
The fireplace is almost finished…I put the final coat of paint on it today. Jacques just had to get in the picture. And Norm from “This Old House” is making a fireplace mantel too on the tube.
I was looking through the iphoto and found this picture of Richie from last fall and noticed a ghost like figure coming from the pump! Freaky!!
I swear this picture is for real!!!
Now that I am caught up with CHORES, I should have a chance to make something tomorrow.

The sun coming through the tree branches is a great effect.

Oh and the fireplace looks great too. It looks finished. Rich probably doesn’t need Norm to work on it though. He sounds like he’s very good at all that.
