July 2009 - The Rush to Readiness
The list of things to complete before
August arrived was getting away from me - out of
control! However at some point I found my self
on the final task: Enlarging the bedroom closet
opening.
The closet actually has enough room for both his
and hers clothes (once we committed to multiple
trips to Goodwill). But the doorway was so
frustratingly narrow. The plan was to
remove the door (it got moved to the office)
then widen the closet opening by removing about
2 feet of wall.
Once complete - it made for such a nicer 'closet
experience'! I also added an overhead
light for more visibility on those dark winter
mornings.
I slowly picked away at the inner closet drywall
to expose the framing, then re-framed for the
new opening. I then removed the outer drywall.
Patched, painted then moved on to the trim.
Virginia wasn't too keen on having the
contents of our closet posted on the world wide
web. So we have the 'frosted glass' effect
instead. We didn't want to show off our
large rack of fur coats. Yeah Right.
I found a few nice photos from last month that I forgot to include. Our June was very cool, cloudy
and rainy - unheard of for our area. But that didn't stop the cactus grove
from sprouting their colorful spring blooms - or
keep us from hiking up to enjoy them:
 
Check out the bee's - one in each of these
blossoms.
