Another project. One of the roofers I had out for an estimate mentioned my chimney crown was cracked, so I had a guy out to fix it. He mentioned the flu on the right was open and needed a cap. After explaining to him it wasn't used, he sealed it for us with a piece of flagstone. I took a picture of it with my camera, but have to get a better "after fix" picture for the website.  


While I was on the roof, I took a time exposure of the pool. If you look close, you can see the pump
removing water from the cover.
.


So this is my attic workshop. From here, I replaced the recessed light and exhaust fan in the master bath,
then added an exhaust fan in the main bathroom.  Now I need to add ductwork and reinsulate the space. 


Here I am looking down through the hole the fan in the master bath was going into. 


The fan in the main bathroom went in real nice.  It's actually even with the existing lights and centered
between the walls. WooHoo!


The new fan we put in the master bathroom was smaller than the fan that was there, so Jen had to work
some of her drywall magic on the hole to make it smaller and flush with the rest of the ceiling.


Jen had to stand under and hold the drywall piece I was cutting out of the kitchen ceiling. In doing so she
turned her hair and almost everything else white with drywall dust.


We decided to redo our stairs, so off to Home Depot we went to get stair materials. Not sure why we didn't
take the truck, but the Subaru worked out well enough.  We got back and the storm (high winds and some
snow) had knocked out our power, so we went home (back to Paoli) for the evening.


Jen started the process of staining and polyurathaning the stair treads and risers. We couldn't believe she 
actually found enough paint cans around the house to hold all the planks. How the hell do you get rid of 56
cans of paint?
