I taped the wall paper I planned to use in the tub room. I had painted the outside of the tub a burgundy color. The vanity and mirror were from the ReStore- only $50.

Plumbing Glued & Inspected
Steven glued all the pipes and we passed inspection with just two things to fix. The upstairs stool needs its own air vent and pipes in the basement need additional support.
Plumbing, Stripping Paint, and Sealing
Steven has continued to work on the plumbing. Our licensed plumber looked it over and gave him the go ahead to start gluing.
Stripping paint from windows and doors has kept me busy for several weeks. Then staining and sealing the bedroom and dining room windows. I used a blend of mineral spirits, linseed oil and polyurethane. The two doors have stubborn pink paint which I will need to use a stripper on.
Art in Bloom
The White Bear Center for the Arts and the Mahtomedi Garden Club held a contest. Choose a painting and create a flower arrangement to go with it. Steven won 1st place and many accolades with his arrangement that contained monarch eggs, caterpillars and chrysalis.
Two New Basement Windows
Two of the basement windows needed replacing. One was missing entirely and one had severe water damage. Before the new windows could be installed a cement ledge needed to be removed with chisel and sledge hammer. The new windows let in much more light.
