All moved in.

Immediately after the final building inspection on tuesday morning a visiting friend and I moved all the equipment which had been living in the basement of my parents house, into the bakery. It certainly is more full now. Feels almost cozy and certainly, and finally useful for making the bread.
a couple pictures (and a movie!):

Trimming up outside

And the mostly finishing touches on the outside.
There are a few things that I would like to add but they are not required for the building inspection
and I am flat broke and need to get rolling with this whole bread business side of the project.
So, some final outside pix and then on to inspections and licenses and insurance and then
finally, some bread.

The Front















The Back

















The Porch (with trash cans)


Insulation, Drywall and Painting.

I did not take any pictures of the insulation and drywall aspects of this project.
Perhaps this is because these processes are truly miserable.
I managed to come to the insulation phase of this project on what was one of the hottest, most humid days of the year.
Given the itchy unpleasantness of insulation I also wore long sleeves and pants and by the afternoon nearly passed out.
But fear not, all was fine and I finished up the next day and proceeded with the drywall.
Drywall is another miserable task beginning with the hoisting of large heavy panels that break or mar easily
and is followed with the unpleasant task of applying joint compound, sanding and repeating
and repeating.
hot and dusty and disgusting.
at any rate, when it is all done it is time to paint!
So here are those pictures:

The Kitchen. Replete with three-compartment sink.











The Oven, with blue bathroom visible to the left.
Those great tables (and the 3-compartment sink) came from an on line auction
of the equipment from a closed SuperFresh store in Rosedale, MD)





















Balcony Rail (will keep me from falling out of the office.)

Siding. (and windows).

For the long absence, I apologize.
there are many excuses, not the least of which is I have been busy building.
but perhaps more legitimately I have no patience with the slowness of the internet in these parts.
At any rate some pictures.
In this installment siding and windows!


House wrap, like Christo, but for a reason.


















Siding. (and windows).





















And in Blue!
