Fall Renovation Round Up

As we peeled away at the shower issue in October, we ended up having to pull the whole thing out.  

In process.  They suggested a niche.  It was a fantastic idea.  

Meanwhile, on the nice days, they were parging our chimneys.  Which made me sad at first because we were loosing the brick, but it became the best solution with all the water issues. I took this picture to show the difference.  It's like cementing over it. And I ended up being OK with it.  It changed the look of the house, but I became Fine with that.  

One of Todd's guys pressure washed the front and it was clean for a few days. Totally different.   We are doing away with the brick.  It's actually just set down and not installed at all.  And after a cold and drafty winter it seems we will have to replace that bay window after all. 

Finished shower. I really like the floor I picked out. A marble mosiac.  More projects to come this summer.  If we can still afford it.
