Basement steps

If you've been wondering what's been consuming pretty much all of my time (aside from the endless organizing and re-organizing)...here it is.
Bottom level stairs...4 coats later. I'm thinking I need better paint for the top level...4 coats is a giant waste of time.

Today was a gold-letter day

Finally we have a transom number.

Oh, and Todd and I finally split a "swingle". (Small round key lime pie dipped in chocolate and frozen on a stick) I like my sweets--but this was almost too much.

Grown in Queens, just like me.

My neighbor 2 doors down has a plot of land by Floyd Bennett Field where she grows edibles...and tonight sitting on the stoop I became the recipient of one of the biggest zucchini I have ever seen.Mmmm...wish we had a grill....

This post: Overhang

(not hang-over).
Mark's been at it again...
Completed the back door today...tomorrow the front.

This is from the inside...it has a wainscot bottom.
And here's the top which is hard to see...tin shingle from an old barn that we got courtesy of Steve at Historic Flooring!

And that ain't the half of it.

Really. It's not even nearly half of it. And it all needs to be washed. Someone save me from my plate hoarding ways....

Three coats later...

And the pantry is done!We just need to move it into place against the wall before I fill it with all my stuff. And let me just say...if everything doesn't fit in this mammoth thing--I have to start throwing things away.
