We also finally got a new screen door
Now we can enjoy the cool breezes without the bugs flying in. I love it!
The new cathedral ceiling is in too!
The beams were stained, and the boys were able to get the ceiling wood installed on Sunday. I did the first coat of stain and poly mix that night. Today, I finished the second coat. Almost time to put the wallboards in place. We are getting there slowly but surely. I bought the first thing to hang on the new beams today. I am sure I have lots more stuff already in storage but this was bought specifically to hang on the beam. (an old black axe head, very cool!) Can't wait to fill up the whole room.
Some more progress on our addition!
The electrician came and did the rough wiring. I was able to get the walls insulated. Love to keep it toasty warm!

It's all a front!
The stain was hardly dry, and I had my son hanging the shutters that I bought months ago! Then I just had to put the window box on, and hang an old bucksaw too. I have no patience. (when can we start on the other side?)

Early seeder in red paint
This would make a wonderful display for the yard. I was told that this early seeder had a box on the back that would hold seeds. As the wheel turned, a mechanism would cause the seeds to drop into the field. The big wheel in front is in excellent condition, and measures 32 inches in diameter. With the addition of an old wooden box or crate full of flowers, this would be an awesome planter!SOLD!
Cast iron plant holder with flowers
What a beautiful display piece for the garden. I bought the one big pot of flowers to put in the top, but you could also just place this in the garden and plant a climbing ivy or flowers inside the base.
Cast iron plant holder
Here is a great old cast iron plant holder. I took this picture with it empty so the details on the back could be seen better, and then took a picture with flowers. Many uses for the garden!
Iron plant holder with flowers
What a beautiful way to display spring flowers in the garden! I bought this one big pot of flowers to go in the top, but you could also plant climbing flowers around the base for another look. SOLD!

A close up view of the interior
We couldn't do any work outside today thanks to the rain (again!) but we were able to buy our beams and get those in place. More places to hang stuff!
A view from the side
We tried to keep as many trees intact as possible, so our addition is long and narrow, but will give us some much needed room!
