Mud Room with Greg

For the past two weeks Greg D. has been staying in the Yellow House and working with me on a set of cabinets for J and K's mud room. It has been a real treat to work with a good friend in the shop We have been cutting into cypress slabs and also re-using salvaged tongue and grooved Doug fir ceiling boards (about a half an inch thick). Greg is on his way back to Berkeley now after we installed the cabinets yesterday. We are lacking hardware so the doors were not hung and we have yet to build the drawers, at least the cabinets can be loaded with stuff.

Back to the house today, Alex and Becky worked on disassembling a wall between the kitchen and the music room so that one door would be covered up and another door way made wider to accommodate French doors.

Meanwhile I was pouring a sloping floor in the shower and then helped frame the wall and then removed bead board on the music room side of the wall. We are hoping to have the shower finished and the bathroom vanity by March. All we need is about 3 g's for the electric warm floor and tiles for the floor of the bathroom and mudroom to complete the project. Becky just spent a grand (thanks Visa) on the tiles for the shower, we needed just over a 100 square feet of tile.
