Started and Finished:One DAY

An amazing feat has been accomplished at the Banana home.

A whole project, not just started, but also COMPLETED in only one DAY.

I KNOW...I'll let you have a moment to recover from the shock of it all.

You remember our bedroom? Well, that 98% has moved up to 99% complete!

This was the 2% mentioned in that previous entry:

1. See all those wires under the shelf over the bed? That goes to the under shelf lighting, for reading in bed. They are going to be shortened and the switches mounted so it looks less octopus like.

2. See the red inserts in the shelf at the foot of the bed? There will be a set of the drawers mounted on the wall next to each side of the head of the bed for side tables. The will be have a white box around them so it matches the foot of the bed. The table saw is needed and is still buried in the shed.

3. See the head of the bed? A headboard will be made and put there. We are looking for fabric.

4. See the windows? The brown parts will be painted white when it stays warm because the windows have to be taken out to do those parts.

5. See the windows, again? We are still discussing what type of window treatment we want. We are currently thinking about faux wood blinds.

6. See the blank green wall? I have a picture collage to fill up, and some of Surly Teenagers artwork to frame and hang.

Well...

the side tables.)
