Free Plants

 After pulling up the holly bush, I'd never gotten around to replanting anything in the front.  Neighbor 2 blocks down had 2 bushes out out on the curb for free, they're mine now.

Definitely need some edging and more ground cover in front, but that's a lower priority.  I will probably be replacing the gutter downtubes with galvanized ones soon though.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

Finished the primary framing.  Will finish the interior drywall and electrical tomorrow. The shell is made from 3/4" subfloor, and I'm putting drywall over it.  Probably overkill, but should make for a very solid, durable frame.  Most of the interior will be white drywall, but I have some left over hardwood flooring sample that has a really pretty pattern when stained and coated, I have a sample in place in the top image.  Won't be able to do the exterior drywall until I get the electrical and structural inspection done.
