The bed. First night.

The window

Hayden and Jadee decided to torment Emma and me. They tapped on the window and totally freaked us out. Quite the spook. Quite the scare.

Doors and trim

We are still painting the doors and the trim. That should be done this week.

Sep 26, 2026. Brown paint started on a white door, with the casing already painted Sep 27, 2026. A brown door mid-paint, taped off beside the hardwood floor

Doors in progress.

Laundry

Washer and dryer get delivered Thursday. That is going to be awesome.
