reconstruction phase

The Reconstruction PhaseMay/June 2011

Rip out the crusty, old kitchen.

Ready to lay the dance floor.

Start to hang the mirrors.

Here’s easy work.

Making progress.

How they hung them so straight.

The paint crew arrives.

Cans weren’t easy to open.

The mirrors saved much paint.

OSHA-approved ladder?

Quit posing and paint!

Everyone had a corner to paint.

Lucky is a skilled painter.

Scarlett, working hard.

Now Randall’s posing. Right, Nop?

Nice gloves, Helen!

Working, working, working!

Cany, looking like a pro.

Pouring out more paint.

Actually, we bought too much.

Red room. Red room. Red room.

The kitchen looks so much better.

Take a break, Lucky.

The only “artistic” touch.

Colorful.

It was a long day.

Watch my boys, or paint? Hmm.

Cool living room light fixture.

After the work is the reward.

Helen and Tommy

Moving day!

Colleen’s good idea: a food bar.

All new furniture. Look like IKEA?

Cany’s back for more work.

Scarlett loves to build stuff.

We came to China with suitcases.
