Jeff's Camano Adventure

What originally started as a 'paint sample party', quickly turned into a brief visit to photograph the progress and skedaddle! Although it was Sunday, the painters were hard at work, getting ready to prime the interior tomorrow; while Gary was working on the exterior siding. They had fallen behind due to our early winter storm last week and were doing some catch-up.

Once the primer is on we can try out our colors....

Jeff hasn't seen the house in a couple weeks and was mighty pleased with how it's looking.

The garage has been insulated and is ready for wallboard.

Our first visitors to the house



Siena told her mom, "Its beautiful"!
She loves the beach



Mark and Stephanie Pendolino and their children Roman and Siena joined us up at the beach today. They have fond memories from their stay at the old house and were anxious to see how the new house was coming along.

Good view of Jeff's curved wall

We were all greeted by the mess that invariably is the aftermath of drywall installation! I can't believe how far these guys have gotten since Thursday.

The house seemed so bright on this dreary wet day.

That hole in the wall is a little nook for a piece of art-
or driftwood!



Jeff was so delighted to see how things are moving along

Very little insulation remains uncovered

And Roman is looking forward to playing in the fort!
