First, I'm fine. I have everything I need for now, and I'm looking forward to how nice the house will be when all is finished.
To review, here's what is part of the project (which parishioners set in motion with help from my predecessor):
-- Repairing and replacing old plumbing (complete);
-- Tearing up old carpeting and refinishing beautiful wood floors (complete);
-- Repainting the interior (underway);
-- Rewiring; much of the wiring is very old and potentially hazardous (underway);
-- Installing air-conditioning (underway);
-- Installing insulation in the walls (soon);
-- Some updates in the kitchen and bathrooms (complete).
Did I miss anything?
At any rate, here are some photos of the work in progress, and some of the results:
My office, where the magic happens. With both some electrical work underway, and insulation still to be blown into the walls, we haven't hung up any artwork or put books on the shelves yet. |
Side porch with new patio furniture! Well, new to me! A parishioner donated it. I like that! |
Ed hard at work on the rewiring. |
Kitchen: mostly complete. A little touch-up needed in a few spots. They built some new cabinets and spiffed up the existing ones; I think many of the fixtures are new, and the table and chairs too? |
Here's the guest bedroom, with hardworking parishioner, Bonnie, working hard! We just finished the painting; after the re-wiring is finished, we'll kit it out for a visiting missionary next weekend. |

Looking good Father! I think if you hit the St.Cecilia Parish Flea Market - you could outfit the whole place - vintage!! :)

No doubt! But the cost of hauling it all from Cincinnati...ow!
