Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

We hope you'll forgive us if we aren't around much this week, but there are big changes going on in our house, as you know. We hope the work will be completed sometime this week. Here are a few pics of the work that was done over the weekend. Still quite a bit more to go, which means we'll all be locked up in bedrooms while the construction is going on. We get to come out at night after they clean up the mess.

In other news (that also has nothing to do with us) the lady entered 3 pieces into a local art show. It opens on Friday night and will run until the end of February.
Still a long ways to go. The boards will go all the way up to the ceiling.
And yet another coat of paint once they are up on the wall.

Have a great week, friends!

It looks really cool and like it's a lot of work!

How awesome that your Mom is in an art show! We wish her a lot of success with the show.

Oh my word that is one mega project. It is looking beautiful too.Madi says she would like to walk across the high railing....looks like a perfect place for a kitty to explore.
Good luck!

Cory said...

Wow, all the way to the ceiling? That's cool...you think maybe they could add some of those bumpy things to the boards...you know...make a kitty climbing wall out of it?

Sigh...probably not. Your mom and dad likely just want it to look beautiful.

Pee ess...I'm locked out of my bathroom for the same reason. Why must they change things?

Marg said...

We know you will win in that contest. And by the way, Mom wanted us to tell you that those pictures are terrific but it makes Mom really tired to see all that work you are doing. But just remember how nice it is going to be when it is done.

Cat Street Boyz said...

Mom was wondering if when you let your furkids out in the room later, did they give that...."What da heck..look!" We do that and the humans get a big laugh over it....We like the high ceilings, it's looking good!!!(=^Y^=)

Raymond and Busby said...

Your house is going to look pawsome! Wow! Hope it's completed soon so you can get out of the bedrooms and back into your normal napping spots during the day.

Best of luck to your Mom in the art show.

Wow! That looks great. And your Mom and Dad are very talented if they are doing the work themselves. I hate that you can't snoopervise, though.

Good luck to your Mom in the art contest!

It sounds like a pain in the bum but it will look so great when it is all done!!! We'll keep our paws crossed for your Mom to do great at her art show!!!

momsbusy said...

looks like your pop is doing a great job even if you can't be there to supervise as the work is being done. at least you can give constructive criticism when you are let out of jail at night.

is your mom nervous about entering the art contest?

Mr. Hendrix said...

Holy moly! Your beans are doing a ton of work. Man, I thought mommy's big cleaning job was getting in the way of my snuggles. Your beans project is crazy in the way of yours!
We hope that the "lets be friends" is working. It must be hard to have friends fighting like that. purrrrrrrrrrs

Big lucky hugs to your mommy! We just know her art show will be a huge success!

The remodeling is looking good, but I sympathize with you for having to be locked up during the day. I hate being shut up in one room.
