Father's Day, Summer Solstice, and "Straw."

In celebration of the summer solstice, we decided to do some painting. Wow. We picked a color called “Straw” for the living area upstairs, and started with the upper section around the picture windows…. We really like it. It seems to work with everything including the masonry heater, the window frames/sills, and the carpet and tile we are planning. What we did not plan on was that is goes great with the underside of the roof “soffets” that are stained cedar, and the TREES! Yes, the green trees even look better when framed with the straw color. So, we are happy. We even think it will go well with the Christmas Tree!
Yesterday was Father’s Day. I had always thought my Dad would get to see this house one day…… I told Debbie that I was going to dedicate all of today’s work to my Dad. He was a tremendously hard worker. I worked from 930 am till 730 pm. Hope he was watching!
Again, the pics tell it all. Busy week ahead again… Mom doctor appts., Debbie in Portland all week, pressure tank to be installed, might order the gutters, will order some cabinets, tile to be delivered, and need to finish framing out bathroom showers….
Hard to believe the days will be getting shorter!
