Gary is putting up the sheetrock against the wall here.

The sheetrock has finally reached the ceiling!

Now we are ready for mudding and sanding.

LP: Paskong Pinoy

Taglish mode... Kahit nasa America na ako, hindi ko maalis na magdagdag ng "star" sa aking Christmas decorations. Parol eh...hindi Pinoy ang Pasko kung wala akong parol. At heto ang pinakamalapit sa parol na kinaya kong gawin... Una, meron akong mga kawayan na pinag-hugis "star" at tinalian ko ng hose na me mga ilaw pamasko... Tapos, me mga "star" na gawa sa "colored glass" na binili ko online, na kinabitan ko ng ribbon para magmukhang parol gaya ng sa Pilipinas. Lima ang binili ko. Hindi ko lang malagyan ng ilaw unless bibili ako ng de-baterya. At ngayong marunong na akong gumawa ng tunay na wreath, walang limit ang imahinasyon ko kung pano ko dedekorasyunan ang wreath...eh ano pa nga ba kundi maglagay ng star sa gitna...Dalawang wreaths ang nilagyan ko nito. The rest of my Christmas outdoor decors are mainly American...pero alam nyo naman sa kahit sa Pinas, merong Santa Claus at Christmas tree at snowman... Eh pano naman ang kainan ng Pino

The Master Bedroom used as Temporary Kitchen

As we got ready in June 2006 for working on the kitchen, we used the master bedroom as the temporary kitchen. We placed the fridge there, used the dresser as countertop, and Gary installed the temporary countertop (which we previously had in our kitchen) with sink on one wall near the bathroom. All other building materials are also stored here -- pile of hardwood flooring, tool boxes, etc. We had this setup for two weeks (Gary could not bear to have the busiest area in our place of rest anymore, so we transferred them back to the kitchen area as soon as we could, though it was still far from finished.)

Living Room video as of June 2006

This is a video starting from the entryway into the balcony where my office is located, and opposite that is the future library. The stairs leading to the balcony originates from the kitchen and leads to a landing surrounded by the kids' bedrooms. There is a short hallway from the stairs to the balcony, where my office is located at one side and the future study area (no books/shelves there yet) on the opposite side. When entering the balcony, the triangular windows of the living room are readily seen. The balcony is situated above the living room covering about half of it. Towards the end of the short video, I am showing a view of the living room. Pardon the mess and the seemingly barren LR (we are at this point bereft of shelves, curtain, and all those finishing touches).
