Yes, I feel like Cinderella of the construction trade -

Here's what I was doing last week. Finishing up polyurethening the 197 boards. (See can on the right.)
Here's where they went - (that's Super Hubby 25 feet up)
Then I used a dark mahagony stain on some 6" beams (see stain can on the left in top picture) - like this -
Here's where the beams went - oops, forgot to take a picture.....see above ceiling - where the seams are, about a foot from the lights, imagine these beams over them.....in three places down the ceiling. I'll take some more pictures when I can lift my hands to hold the camera!
Last night, I painted the inside of my craft room door chocolate - well, actually it's Betsy Ross House Historic Color - which happens to look like chocolate pudding. As a matter of fact, the paint was a one coat covers Valspar - and it looked amazingly like chocolate pudding just before it's set. Ashley aka The Princess suggested that this would be a very good diet aid....it looks like pudding only without the calories. She neglected to take her reasoning down to the tastebud level....I declined to have a taste to see if it had chocolate pudding flavor....my combining cooking and painting has only ventured to cornmeal so far....
Update and hopefully some more pictures tomorrow!

I agree with Susie, it all looks so good. I know you must be so tired. Have a happy Valentine's Day.
The house is looking fabulous and you've worked so hard! :) Hang in there!

You are so busy I can't even imagine. Cant wait for the final tour.
You are one of the hardest workers I know. Your work is beautiful. I know you have to be wore out from all that staining and painting. Happy Valentines Day.
Oh my goodness! So much work you have done! It is looking great and you will have much to be proud of and enjoy when you are all done. :)
