Renovation Progress Report #1 -- Beginnings

Mary took a day of PTO (paid time off) today and started the "project." When I got home from school at 1:30, this is how it looked at the moment.




I have been carrying wood from the print shop where we have been storing it for the last few months to the garage where she is cutting it the right length. She has boards of different lengths lying out on the floor so she can find the best one to make the most efficient use of the wood we have. We only hope we have enough for the project. I have about half of it carried to the garage, but it is raining quite a bit at the moment, and I decided to wait until after it slows down a bit to finish the job.




They are all t&g boards that we got from tearing down a shed for her cousin. We sanded them but decided to keep the white paint in the grooves. We had seen that done in another house and decided it added to the rustic look. Of course, it also saved us a lot of work.
I'll keep you posted as we progress over the weekend.
