Mushrooms at work

Posted on by Ian C.

It’s been a great Summer this year, in this area at least. Lots of rain to make everything green, lots of sun to make it all grow – and lucky for us the high winds were not too bad for the North Shore.
One result, lots of mushrooms / fungus growing in the mulch and under the trees at work – here’s a few pictures:

And no, I have no idea what names they have – though a quick Google search suggests the top one is “Fly Agaric” and poisonous!

Addition re-construction #5

All boxed in now! Sheetrock and cement board hides the chimney …

Tomorrow, the sheetrock gets skim coated, then we need everything tiled; we’re waiting on Tessera to come up with a design. We also need new flooring – you can see that the carpet is gone now, but we’ve still not decided a color / texture for the hardwood floor.

There’s plans too for all new furniture (Boston Interiors maybe), and a cabinet to the right of the fireplace for the stereo equipment … it’s amazing how complex this is getting (and that’s without figuring a new room lighting scheme, new window drapes, etc, etc!)

A day later, it’s all plastered and the construction holes have vanished too!
