Our first home: 5290 Project
Sun's out, snow's gone... it's ON: June 2018
June was a big month for us:
- Some landscaping action :) hostas, crab-apple tree, adirondacks, flowers (lilies, lady's mantle)!
- More prep for the master bathroom
- INSULATION DAY = 6.2.2018
- Huge thanks to our friend, Tim, for his amazing work and help!
- Foam, foam, everywhere
- New attic access - super exciting.
- OMG... sheetrock --> walls --> rooms + PAINT = delightful progress
- Sam builds an archway
Landscaping action ...
 |
| Hostas added in front of the house. Little curbside appeal. |
 |
| Adirondack chairs for the backyard. And bird feeders! |
Newly planted crab apple tree. Plus, rhubarb for days and yellow lillies!
Also, a small garden area by the gazebo. Thanks to Sam's mom, Mary, for the help :)
Now, for some house action ...
Again, here are comparison pictures from the posting at Realtor.com with what we're staring at lately:

New attic access. So sexy.
 |
| The most fun attic access ever with the fold-down ladder like in the movies was also located in the master bedroom. So, it must be moved. |
Now, for the most transformative operation since the start of this whole process (other than the electrical/lighting, Dad) ...
When sheetrock creates walls that turn into rooms and PAINT makes it real!

| Perfect Greige for the Master Suite. Thanks to Sam's sister, Emily, for the help with painting! |
Voila!! What progress in a matter of weeks!!
Finally, for June 2018, Sam is now known as the Archway extraordinaire, for his exquisite workmanship in creating an archway to match the entryway.
 |
| Ladies and gentlemen, I have no idea how this man does it. But, DAMN, he's damn good at it. |
 |
| I mean, DAMN GOOD, right?! |
 |
| And then, we got real dramatic-like with the paint color selection. |
BEFORE & AFTER ... Amazing!
That's all for June 2018, folks!
5290 Project is sure coming along.
We will continue with this momentum throughout the rest of summer! Stay tuned!
