We ended April and began May with the sheetrockers working away skimming the walls and making a dust storm. We end this month with carpentry and tile contractors working their magic. The living room is all things carpentry!
Never fear… I’ll be doing a separate post on the cabinetry and another on the tile. For now, have a look around…
On my morning walk a few weeks ago, I found large pieces of wood from a tree that was cut down. Long story short, the Project Manager helped me get one into our garage for a future coffee table project. It was insanely heavy…
Friday, 5/3: Met to discuss interior trim. Interior doors were delivered. Looked at carpet samples for upstairs bedrooms. We selected the White Cap on the left, but then later walked on the one on the right in someone’s home and thought it was so comfortable, so we’re looking at those color options …
Then the wood door came we’d ordered for the Master Bath, but I wasn’t home for the delivery so it was left on the driveway. I unscrewed about 35 long screws in the hot and humid rain in order to “free” the door. Even then, it was too heavy for me so I covered it up and got help yet again.
Monday, 5/13: Hardie backing almost finished. Interior doors being hung.
Tuesday, 5/14: Baseboards
Friday, 5/17: Harvey (tile guy) prepping walls and hanging HardieBacker. Walked with Jose (cabinet guy) and made some minor adjustments. Soon we should start to see some scaffolding going up for exterior finishes. There’s a lot of tile in the garage!
Meanwhile, I’ve been working on the design for the Master Closet and where exactly the laundry chute is going to be.
I started going to the house daily because there has been so much activity there.
Our kitchen table is finished and ready to be painted:
Our exterior stone will be onsite soon.
Tuesday, 5/28: Met Harvey to sort through all garage tile and went room by room explaining layout and answering his questions.
How exciting! And FUN!
Beautiful! So exciting!
