Count Down Begins

We've past the last of the rough in inspections so we could move on to sheetrocking the last areas upstairs.

Then came the texture, which definitely makes a difference.

Now we're on to painting....so far it's the base, casing and doors-which took over the entire upstairs.

Framing, insulation and furnace upstairs.

The upstairs is progress. Take a look: 

My bathroom has framed walls and a tub.

They added an arch going into the hallway for the east side bedroom and the upstairs bath. I think it's a great detail.

 The west-side bonus room is making progress as well.

 The furnace is in place....now that the weather is warming I'll actually be able to use the A/C this year.

Cabinets are done!

Yippee, the kitchen and master bath cabinets are done and I love them! 

Alan King and his guys did a fantastic job.

This bookcase & display cabinet are at the right of the desk.

Soon that hood vent will be installed in the center arched cabinet, 

which a great detail Alan and guys custom built.

 The doors on the right are hiding my washer and dryer. I had a dilemma and Alan designed a great solution.

This corner cabinet has tons of storage!

Another Section of Fence

My brother, Vernon, came down and helped me put another 3 sections of fence up in just under 3 hours. He's a work horse!

Kitchen tiled and grouted!

Exciting!

The hall and front entry will be done next week. :)
Then someday it will be kitchen cabinets and countertops.

Merry Christmas-Main floor tile is in progress

Merry Christmas!!!

Yes, I actually decorate this year.....outside and in 2 rooms. The rest of the house is still in various stages of construction. (As y0u can see, I adopted another dog, Sadie on Halloween from a local shelter. She is a 4-5 year old Shih Tzu mix. She seems to have adjusted to her new home and gets along very well with Tawny, my 12 year old Poodle/Miniature American Eskimo mix.





They started prepping for tile on the main floor this week. This required pulling up more subfloor in some areas, patching and screwing subfloor down in others. This picture shows the hardiboard cut and ready to be installed.















Hopefully most of the tile will be down and grouted by New Years! :)

Upstairs loft family room is now livable!

Progress continues and I am very excited. The upstairs loft now has a kids corner,














lots of seating, my home office,














and entertainment options! As long as you can climb stairs, there is now a very relaxing space in my house. :)
