This has been such a beautiful fall. While I hate to see the leaves fall off the trees, one advantage is being able to see the sunset over the mountain ridge.
Jim keeps trying to find the perfect door sweep for the steel doors - this one looked very promising but it's too high and won't work when we get tile on the floor.
Then it was back to plastering - he's making great progress on finishing up the bottom area of the stairwell.
We're about to start a huge project - moving all of our stored boxes, dining room table, steel shelves, and my fire school supplies over to the back wall of this bay. Jim needs to be able to access the area where everything is now to hang drywall. First step was to move the drywall. Since my car can't park in this bay now anyway because of the concrete, it's going to be a great staging area.
There wasn't much plaster on the floor in this area since we didn't do the ceiling but I cleaned any droppings off the floor.
Another of Jim's before-winter to do items was to caulk this area between the brick and the garage/man door trim pieces. The problem is that the big box stores only sell caulk in a few colors and the gray is very light. Because I have the best husband in the world, he special ordered two tubes of the caulk he likes in a darker gray. Of course, you have this little color chart and are trying to decide between six shades of gray that all look the same, but I think the color is perfect!
So then he started taping the area...
Caulking this area isn't easy because the brick is such an uneven surface...
This side is all done and he's taking the tape off...
Looks perfect! He got both the garage doors and the man door area done.
