Sanding and Priming and Painting...Oh, My!

Things are getting pretty busy around here! Yesterday was spent putting varnish on the tub and painting 2 wicker and one wooden chest of drawers, and a small night stand. I sanded and primed, and my wonderful husband spent most of the day outside spraying. At over 100°, that's saying a lot about his devotion to me and this beach house project! He is at least as excited as I am to get back into our own house in Crystal Beach. And so many choices to make! Now that we are getting to the interior, it is time to make all of those little flooring, cabinet, paint, faucet, etc. decisions. (Check back often...I may need help in making some of those decisions! ;-) )

Our wonderful friends have given us an open invitation to spend as much time at their house down there as we can stand while the rebuilding progresses. (Let's not even THINK about how much THEY may be able to stand!) Their house sustained quite a bit of damage, but has remained livable, and we love going down there to help them with their numerous repairs and projects. In fact, we look forward to going again this afternoon to spend time with the Village and to check on their bathroom renovation.

Since the outside of the house is close to being completed, we don't expect to see much change when we go back to the peninsula today...just the new concrete slab underneath. But, even that will be exciting! Here is what we left last week.
