and more!

Got another quilt hung!  This one is in the master bedroom

Paintbrush on a stick!

The finished wall.  Paint still wet.  

I thought I couldn't be surprised anymore

Just when I thought I'd found all the dirty little secrets (and nails, and screws) here, when I was on my stepstool at eyelevel with the top of the china cabinet (which holds games) I found this:

2 dozen place settings.  They're gold colored, but they're just stainless steel.  But...I don't think we'll be short of spoons anymore!

Floor needs some work.  But not yet.  Rob, I put a no-slip thing under the rug.

The guest bathroom.  Really, it's not blue, it's more...greenish blue.

I got the first quilt hung.  Now to paint the wall.

I put new screens in the master bedroom windows

And i painted most of this wall.  Now I need some scaffolding or something to get the last bit.

Pleasant

Since I subjected everyone to utter grossness in my last post, here is something pretty, from the front of the cabin.

Don't read this if you are skittish, especially about rodents

First bit of wall sawed open

oooooh disgusting!  The smell, the look, oh, horrid!

So then began the routine:  Drill a hole, look inside with camera, saw open if mice are spotted

Remove mice, vacuum up bits, wipe with lysol wipes

some of my tools:  gloves, vacuum, wipes, also a mask and goggles

And now i've screwed the drywall bits back on

it's looking better already  Spackle anyone?

What Meg found

Apparently, a rubber boa

Meg and some of her friends stayed at the cabin one night recently.  I was happy to have them there:  The toilets would get flushed, water would be run in pipes, and the mice would be reminded that they do not own the house. I wasn't prepared, then, for the news that they found a snake, basking downstairs, in the middle of the basement's carpet.  Oh ick!  The good news is that snakes like this don't bite humans and they eat mice.  The bad thing is I think it explains the smell that comes from one of the walls.  Snake poop.  Ick!!!

I forgot to post these

I took some pictures so Rob could see the color of the bedroom walls

The bathroom floor is cold, so I got numerous rugs

More of the bedroom.  You can't really tell the wall isn't white

The guest bathroom.  You can't tell, but the walls have been textured.

A very clean kitchen, as I went out the door...
