Sheetrocking continues upstairs. Meanwhile, the basement is getting all kinds of furniture. The guest bathroom and master bathroom vanities have taken up residence next to the kitchen cabinets. They will apparently all be going to their new homes while we're at Pennsic. For now they're here in the P.o.D.

Two spare doors and our jacuzzi are in the other section. I assume it's our jacuzzi. Actually, pretty much anything could be in that box...

This is our lovely shed. It came with the dome. Eventually we'll paint it to match the house. It may even be sided with very expensive siding to match the house. (We had some left over...)

This shed has been very useful. Unlike most new building sites, we already have electricity, and this unassuming little building is its keeper. Unfortunately, there is a padlock on the door. Most of the workers know the combination, but occasionally there arrives a new work crew to whom it is a mystery. They solve the problem by repeatedly wrenching the doors off their hinges and gaining access that way.

I think we're gonna need some new hinges.

Our current bathroom.Things got a bit unpleasant for a while. The portojohn arrived in February when the framing crew began work. Three months later, I called Dave's, the company we rented it from, to inquire about their cleaning schedule--since nobody had come to care for it in that time and things were getting ugly. The company assured me that it was cleaning on a weekly basis. I suggested politely that they were mistaken, and that the outhouse had in fact gone rogue.

In the end we got it straightened out. Evidently there had been some kind of confusion, resulting in it becoming the Port o Potty that Dave's Forgot. It is now the Port o Potty that Dave's Remembers, and all is well.
