The only thing left in our room is our bed and our dressers. The rest of our bedroom in hanging out in the dining room, it's not like we've been able to use that room since early November.  The chimney for the boiler is right behind the whole in the wall.

No silly, I am not mad. I am delighted to have found a great red paint. You know how is goes you find an article in a homey mag that shows you what's hot in the paint world. So you keep the layout for months and sometimes years, waiting for the day you get to pull it out and hunt down the proper paint.  I love the new color! It's brighter and has a lot more orange to it.

After dark it's very Dr. Who! The stupid tree landed right on top of the kitchen roof, the ceiling really took a beating from all the rain and impact. It was a nice excuse to check and see if the bathroom plumbing was intact.Since repairs where necessary and a new dry wall ceiling was going to be put up I figured that a few pot lights just had to be added.

The roofs are all done and totally water tight. I can't say the same for the brown door that you see on the balcony. We had a rainstorm that blew rain into the house.
