Autum Equinox

This is myself and Rick Ellwood my contractor hard at work putting up the siding of my art studio. NOT! :)))
I ran out of money last summer and had to go through the winter, spring and summer with just the tar paper. As you can see Rick is a blast to work with and will let you assist to save on the cost. His company is Trade Safe. I highly recommend him. He is reliable, really knows his stuff and is reasonable.

Here it is finished. I even got it painted already thanks to Scotia Painting. Go Ken go! I love the colours! A soft gray/green with a lighter trim. And the colour name is Artful Green. Is that kismit or what! It is so serene and calming and fits in with the surrounds perfectly.
I am so happy to see the end of that tar paper! Next I have to get my door stained. The weather here in Victoria has been fabulous this September and promises to carry on for a week or so yet. Ya! That should give me an opportunity to finish off the details. Now it is as pretty on the outside as it is on the inside. I am really happy how it all has turned out. :)

Beautiful! How exciting to be finished such a dream project. 'Artful Green' - just perfect!

How will you ever get any work done in such a lovely place? Even with a lovely name like artful green I am sure it will be hard for you to be artful unless you are very driven to create! At least the name is better than the one I have chosen to put on my wall - it is called muddy puddle!
