Tin Roof? Rusted. Ok, Then How's About Tin Ceiling?

Fundage is a bummer, man, so I got the brilliant (with desperation being the mother of invention) idea of putting up a tin ceiling.

I'd gleaned some old barn metal from Rafe next door and am installing it as my ceiling over the insulation.

It's like, hep cat daddy-o.  All the cool kids are doin' it.

And by 'it' I mean putting in tin ceilings.  So my poverty has finally made me trendy.

Painter? I Hardly Knew Her.

My sweet sister and my mannishly sweet brother in law helped me finish painting the house today.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! It looks mahvellous.


Pictures tell the tale.  


South Side--My late fall sunshine/heat!





























John 'mans' the ladder, 'cause I exceed the weight limit.

Color Me Badd, er Badly

Yeah, I busted out the CMB reference.  Deal with it.

Paint was applied.  There was much rejoicing.  There shall be more painting forthwith tomorrow.  More pix ditto..

The green is a sagy color and the blue will dry somewhat darker.


Door will need a primer and then get the full blue treatment.
