Obviously, there’s a good deal of work yet to do, but it’s really remarkable how much difference sheet rock makes– between Day 8 and Day 9, it goes from looking like a construction site to looking like a room that just needs a little finishing. I have pictures from other corners, but this is the only complete set (it’s taken from the door from the kitchen into the garage), as there were a few days when there was so much stuff piled in one of the corners that I couldn’t get there to take a picture.<\/p>\n

The background here is that with FutureBaby on the way, we need to transform our spare bedroom into a nursery, which means we need somewhere to put all the paperback books that are currently stored there. The house came with a built-in garage that was too narrow for me to be comfortable getting my car in and out, which we were just using as storage space, and I eventually convinced Kate that it made sense to turn that into a family room\/office sort of thing, with built-in bookshelves and cabinets on the long walls. That will dramatically increase the storage space we have available, and allow us to move all the hardcovers out of the current office, converting it to a spare bedroom, and making room for FutureBaby.<\/p>\n

They started work here about two weeks ago, and as you can see, the progress has been impressive. There’s probably another week or two to go, and then we get the fun of moving all the furniture around…<\/p>\n

You can see the full collection of construction pictures in this Flickr set<\/a>, including shots of the new doorway cut from the garage into the living room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
