The Wall!!

So, we've been working on the 4th wall in the office since about September. I say "we" but it's not me, it's a buddy of mine who did the "C" paw and Bengal tiger in our garage. He did an outstanding job on both, so I thought he'd do a really good job on an idea I had for the office. Well, not surprisingly, he did an unbelievable job on this project, too.

Here it is....



The idea is part Crosley Field, part old-time scoreboard. The linescore part is chalkboard paint, so it's a functional scoreboard. Check it out...

Game 4 1976 World Series. Reds win Championship 4 games to 0.



Want to know what the linescore was for Game 4 of the 1990 World Series Sweep over Oakland?



Close up...



The original Crosley Field scoreboard didn't have these local favorites, but I wanted a modern slant on a classic, so we chose some older logos and I think they look awesome.

Some other pics...



It took a LOT more time than we thought, but in the end, I think it turned out even better than I could have possibly imagined.

Been too long

Things, as you can imagine, are still pretty hectic around our house. With the holidays, and continued organizing, we're still pretty busy. But, I am going to try to put up some more before/after pics.

In fact, there are a few rooms that are still "under construction" so this blog will continue to be updated as we go.

For now...some Christmas pics...

Santa's reindeer don't allow clear pics. Sorry.

Foyer/Office

Let's start the "before" and "after"...Exterior first

We have a TON of pics to go through, but now seems like a good time to start.

Not a straight on shot, so you'll have to use your imagination.













We could probably add a thousand more pics, but you get the idea. We'll do some inside stuff later.

Mass CHAOS!!

This weekend we officially moved in!! But now we get to sort through the MESS! These pics are from Sunday night...after the storm moved out. It's still a mess though. Plenty of work left to be done. But, it's nice to be HOME!!!

Office. Still needs one wall painted, but at least it's functioning











On the left is his "big boy" bed, but he won't transition into it for a while.





This is a REAL mess!





Coming this week (hopefully) a bunch of before/after pics and some video. Things are hectic as you can imagine, so it may take a day or 10. :-)
