How Suite It Is!

The master suite is coming along and progress is being made.  We haven't posted many updates for this space because we're at the point of plastering and sanding and, really, how many more photos of that process can we post?  Suffice it to say that we'll update any visible progress.

The wall dividing the bedroom and sitting room is finished. 



The electric is done and rough-in completed.  We've decided to use something substantial to finish off this structure and we'll update this soon.



One this side (sitting room), there's a need for a lot of electric, audio, and video options for now and in the future.



Lots!    For television, Tivo, audio, dvd, and whatever the techno geeks come up with in the future!

On this side (the bedroom), it's more of the same.  In the coming weeks, we'll be finishing up the plastering and sanding.  For now, we'll only dream of priming and painting!



In each of the rooms that we've completed so far, if there has been a hole or crack large enough, we've stuck a little "Time Capsule" inside with a note for Kraemer House's future owners and a few trinkets:  New state quarters, a magazine article featuring the house, pictures, etc.  Remember our time capsule for the pantry

This one is tucked away in an old chimney flue.  Shhhh.  Don't tell anyone!



One day, they might be doing exactly what we're doing now, and finding a little hidden treasure might give them a chuckle and motivation to continue on.  At this point though, it's hard to imagine another renovation here given the pains that we're going through.  It's inevitable, however, that the process will one day, begin again...

Yeah, that's a LOT of power! I think Rich went a little nuts there.

Hi, I used to work with Rich. What a great idea to embed time capsules throughout! Whenever we had project around the house that involved doing some demolition I would always hope to find little trinkets that would give a clue as to the era/timeframe. Didn't usually get much other than old newspapers but even those were fascinating. We'd pull up old carpeting and under old vinyl flooring would be newspapers from 30 years ago! So, long story short, great idea!! Someone will appreciate it someday I'm sure!:)
