See this stack of raw pine?
It was beginning to hurt my eyes!
as is all the bird poop on my car from my garage being blocked
see this bare ceiling?
also not so easy on the eyes after a few months
see this man paint?
Hard to imagine him in a stiff shirt and tie isn't it?
see this man patiently paint a stack of raw pine?
one by one?
see the raw side become the painted side?
here's our trick...
one part water base accidental dark gray color stashed in the garage to 10 parts water
don't forget your drop cloth, pandora,
mimosa
and when contractor finally gets around to your house?
it's quite possible to turn this
into this
next?
18 x 18 on the diagonal marble floors!
which hubs will do with the help of his trusty Chad!
and remember...my poor pooped on car?
it can't get in the garage anyway because that's where my bathtub is
floors, tub, car
maybe when my car can get in my garage that's when I will know
that we are nearing the finish line

wow, thats a big job painting all the pine, very methodical, maybe monotonous, he looks very calm though,
I suppose that gives you a goal, when the car fits in the garage you know you are finish, well partly finished, lol,
It's looking gorgeous. Painting the boards does look tedious. Guess he has to go to his Zen place and not look at all that is left to do. All your plans are very exciting!
The waiting is the worst part. :)
These are such enormous projects! What a dream home you are creating and how fun is it? (Never done that). Or is is tough always being under construction? It will be so worth it and enviable. I love all you're doing.
Who cares about bird poop when you've got more lovely things to think about.

Oh dear - I can't get my car in the garage either because it's full of projects albeit on a much smaller scale.
Hang in there - you're almost done!!
I just love your real, honest posts! My sweet husband would be patiently painting as well…you married a great man! Love this and it all looks beautiful!!!!
Good man that husband of yours!! Your ceilings look wonderful and I can totally relate to that ceiling getting old after a couple a months;) Said contractor needs a talkin' to;) Next time make him call you from A to see if he got everything on YOUR list!!! Best of luck with the project- it looks great!

your home has some pretty awesome bones! I can't wait to see it all!
I hear that bird poop mixed with 4 parts water does a good job aging a car! Here's to being in the garage soon. Man, what a project…but what a beautiful result!
LOVE! It is amazing to see raw pine transformed in to weathered beauty - Fab job!!
