Month: July 2017

We are painting the bathroom and the bedroom. We also have some of the window jambs installed, and should get the rest done soon (had to go get some more shims). Then we can start putting the window casing on and finishing off the spaces. We can also start tiling the shower and tub areas.

We also need to get busy with the hardwood flooring for the bedroom. We have about half of it reclaimed, but the other half is still waiting.

It’s hot – and watering the plants and trees we have planted has become a priority.

The bathroom is well underway. The floor tile is installed and grouted, and we’re getting ready to put the tile on the countertops. When that’s done, we will be able to install the faucets and turn on the water. We’ve had the toilet working for a week or so now.

We’re also starting to paint the bedroom.

 

Some of the bathroom floor tile has been laid down and grouted. The rest of the tile  is ready to be laid.

As soon as we fill nail holes and touch up the paint on the trim, the toilet can be installed.

Today we came back from town with 20 gallons of paint. In 5 gallon buckets. We are ready to start the big push — get the house ready to move in. It’s been 2 years from the time we poured the footings for the foundation.
