House Building Update March 2019

Well through these cold winter months we've made lots of progress inside. The interior painting is complete, both upstairs and down. Lee cut in along the ceilings and I did the rest, except for a few places in the stairwell that required scaffolding to reach; Lee did those. It was fun, in a strange way. I liked being useful, and I was pleased with out it turned out. You can see the light yellow color in the greatroom below. The bedrooms are a light grey.

 Lee has laid all the tile flooring downstairs, except in the master bath, because we didn't have all the materials for in there until recently. He did a beautiful job!

Then he did the interior window trim. I love it; it turned out great.

Then he started on the bamboo flooring. This was new territory for Lee; he'd never done such a large area of wood flooring before, and never directly on a concrete slab. But it has gone very well and looks great.

Here's a closeup of the bamboo

Here you can see the trim work around the tile in the entryway

Progressing right across the greatroom!

And down the hall!

The greatroom flooring is almost finished. Downstairs he has to do the master bedroom, and the stairs, and then that's it for flooring downstairs. He won't do the flooring upstairs until after we move in.

He has started installing the kitchen cabinets. He's getting all of them in place over the next couple of days because on Monday they are coming to measure for the sinks and countertops! After that it will be another 2-3 weeks before they are delivered and installed.

All the materials for the master bath are finally in so he's been working on that too. This is the heating system for the floor! We'll have a heated floor in our bathroom!

And every once in a while it warmed up enough so that the work on the siding could continue. All the gable ends and dormers are complete now, so its just the lower part that needs to be finished. There's still a lot to do but he'll get it done.
