Imagine what thousands and thousands of these little rock-hard marbles of ice hitting your car rooftop, hood, or trunk can do to a paint job!! Just pouring rain now, no more hail, but under a severe thunderstorm warning until 7PM...whoops, spoke too quick...more hail!! This is late Spring, early Summer stuff...more lightnin' and thunder...I better shut this computer down...See y'all!

I was going to wait until next week to update the site...nothing had been done at the house and no flying until 2/25. But then up came this thunderstorm, spitting marble-sized hail, fire and brimstone thunder and lightnin'...what a ride for about 15 minutes. Hail hitting the windows, all over the porch...and on the ground outside our apartment.

This is looking back to the kitchen from the bookshelf area...the door behind the kitchen area leads to the mudroom and pantry...

This is a shot from the kitchen area as well...it looks out to Great Room...there will be a built-in TV/bookshelf to the left of the fireplace, and a built-in bookshelf to the right...

A shot from where the kitchen will be (the wall will be the counter surrounding the kitchen area) to where our breakfast table will be placed...it will overlook the back deck...

BD was tired of waiting for me to take the picture...so she made her feelings known just as I snapped the shot...Bryan's face speaks for itself!

This is looking into the bathroom in the Bonus Room, which is going to be our office. There will be a sink mid-wall on the left...the oval window looks out the East side of the garaga and the view looks out to Lake Allatoona...not much is visible, but you can see the shore and a little of the Lake. Maybe more when the Corps of Engineers brings the lake back up to normal level in April or May.

Siding is on...most of the brickwork is done...having a Devil of a time deciding what color to paint the house! Should the cedar shakes be painted to match the color of the house? What color?
