Exterior: almost done!

I'm trembling with excitement as I type those words... almost done. Just the exterior, mind you. But still. Whew! It's been just over a month, and we've gotten so much done!

What's left? As demonstrated in my very, um, 'rustic' photo here, we have selected the color for our standing seam metal roof which will cover the dormer there in the middle (color is musket brown for those interested), and it's being installed Thursday. 

All that's left is the sun room on the left - where you can see a super professional rendering. We're removing the louvred windows and doing a knee wall along the bottom, but keeping the sun room vibe with large windows on all sides. That should be done next week. 

And then it's paint time! And then we celebrate. 

We won't be moving upstairs anytime soon, but hopefully the hardest part is (nearly) over. 

Finishing the interior will take a good bit longer, since we'll be doing most of that work ourselves. But all in good time, right? 

In parallel, we're addressing our ceiling issues in the living room, dining room and kitchen and hope to have that all wrapped up by the end of this month. Whew!
