It was probably best that you didn't visit us for the long weekend. The weather wasn't exactly welcoming what with rain and wind. We did have two visitors, the natural types who didn't care so much about the weather.
We have been trying to get some small things done in preparation for the next BIG job, that of doing the ceiling of the vaulted roof. We both did some painting, although I did the easier job of the loft while Len took to perching on the scaffold.

| Len painted the upper areas on both sides of the great room |
 |
| I felt safer with the floor of the loft below me |
Once all the painting of the main level was done (ta da!) Len put up some lighting fixtures and fiddled about getting them to come on and off with the flick of a switch. He also added some dimmer switches to the kitchen pot lights.

| Putting up one of 4 lighting fixtures |
 |
| Another little job - the door bell is ready for ringing |
I have taken a few days off work and so will be available to do more priming and painting - this time in the basement with a new colour.

To get ready for the main event, we brought in a pile of wood. The living room just doesn't seem right without a pile of wood! This fir is for the ceiling, so I am off to town to get some more rollers, brushes and varnish.
 |
| This is about 16% of the total to be hauled in and finished and put up |
Stay tuned for major VP (visual progress)

drum roll please - the finalie is about to begin - so glad the ceiling is wood and not dry wall!
