4365. concerned - 9/4/2008 11:25:37 PM Dealt with many cats in my day but this one is the weirdest. EVERY time I go into the bathroom she follows to her pan..whether she has to go or not
Why not try not eating out of her bowl?
4366. Jenerator - 9/5/2008 2:17:01 AM Thoughtful,
I have really enjoyed watching your home come together. 4367. thoughtful - 9/6/2008 2:37:13 PM Thanks Jen...I've enjoyed it too.
We're now classifying the monthly checks we're writing by autos...last month it was only a nissan...the month before it was a bmw...next month it's supposed to be really high, but we're hoping for something less than a bentley! Project mgr tells us after that they'll be more like kias. That's the good news...the bad news is they'll be coming more frequently!
Yikes! 4368. Jenerator - 9/7/2008 2:08:38 AM Having a (small) glass of Basil Hayden's tonight
 4369. judithathome - 9/7/2008 2:21:51 AM Looks great...have one for me, too! 4370. Jenerator - 9/7/2008 2:36:29 AM :-) 4371. wabbit - 9/8/2008 12:35:20 AM Hey, AC, that funny looking guy is Steve Buscemi, a very good character actor. One of my favorite movies is Living In Oblivion and stars Buscemi and the equally fab Catherine Keener. 4372. wabbit - 9/8/2008 12:35:42 AM t'ful, I sure hope you are keeping a diary! 4373. jexster - 9/8/2008 9:07:20 PM My cat sucks her tail
Goes to the bathroom every time I do
and whenever I take pants off or put on, jumps down my leg to play JackInTheBox or is it "Tigress"? 4374. robertjayb - 9/8/2008 10:21:01 PM Twisted kitty... 4375. thoughtful - 9/8/2008 10:29:06 PM Jex, your cat must be related to Cas....he's the weirdest animal we have ever owned. Who ever heard of a cat who couldn't climb trees? I swear, when they were handing out the brains, he was in the fur line. 4376. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 1:46:50 AM She's looking more like a house all the time. Windows added.
 4377. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 1:48:50 AM and trim boards starting to shape out the eaves. The carcass of the deck is being added
 4378. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 1:50:27 AM 
and you can see the beams supporting the overhang, so the deck will be half covered, half open. This is looking at the east, garage side of the house. The black hole over the deck will be the doorway to the family room/kitchen area.
4379. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 1:52:29 AM So for the first time, this weekend, we were able to walk out on the deck and get a sense of the view...to the east...
 4380. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 1:53:17 AM and to the west...
 4381. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 1:56:42 AM Once the walls get finished, it's going to be hard to post interior pics as I don't have a wide angle lens. But for now, here's looking through the powder room wall to the window in hubby's study.
That view is to the north, the streetside of the house...we're most fortunate that there's a pond across the street instead of a house, and the houses are on either side of the pond. So even the view to the north is a nice one. 4382. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 1:58:53 AM It gets harder to leave that house every time I go. I can't believe I've said it, but I've said it several times now...I think I'm even going to enjoy cleaning the place! 4383. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 2:18:38 AM 
This is standing in the dining room looking through to the library in the front. The rooms are separated by a hallway which will be better defined with columns, lighting and floor treatment. Down the hall to the left is the master suite...and on the right is the doorway to the kitchen/family room.
The library will have a fireplace on the left wall and bookcases surrounding it...on the right wall will be a recess for the sofa created by the bookcases surrounding it. The daylight you see on the right is through the doorway to the foyer and the front door/porch on the house.
So when you come in the front door, you'll see the library and fireplace on your right, and the staircase to the lower level will be in front of you. To your left will be hubby's study, the foyer closet, and if you keep walking down an angled hallway, you'll pass the powder room on your left and the utility room is next (washer, dryer, freezer, closets and door to garage). Turn a little more and you'll have the pantry door on your right and the family room dead ahead which is open to the kitchen. Take a right through the kitchen and you're back in the dining room/library area. So the house has good circulation in the public space.
4384. thoughtful - 9/9/2008 2:28:16 AM These doors are in our current house and we'll be taking them with us when we move. They will be on the end of the hallway separating the master suite from the public space. We've designed the columns between the library/dining room to be spaced such that when the doors are open, which they'll be most of the time, they'll tuck behind the columns and be out of the way. But when we have company or such and want to limit access to our private space, the doors will finish off the hallway nicely.
