A Lot is Happening

The floors are finally in, although they got covered up before I could get a good picture. We used reclaimed fir for the floors. I won't soon forget how the ever-present moisture almost torpedoed our project.

They were installed two weeks ago. I definitely breathed a lot easier after that.

Once the floors the done, things really started to pick up. The kitchen came in, the base board, window trim, and the stair container were all completed.

Painting started this week. We picked white (surprise!) for all the walls.

Interior Trim

For the first time since we started, I'm not going to the house everyday anymore. The pace of things has slowed down significantly, and it's too excruciating for me to take.

Next week, the panelling around the center container should go up, bath tile installation is scheduled to start tomorrow. Interior doors for the bedrooms have already been hung, so we are making some progress. Andrew (our builder) assures me that this is a tough time in any project. The slowdown is normal.

The floor is still a bit too moist to install the hardwood.

I've taken to day dreaming about and planning my garden. Looks like I'll have 120 sq. ft. on one side of the front yard, and possibly half that on the other (assuming I'm willing to plant some stuff in a light shade, since there's a tree there).

I think I'll get trough for the roof deck, and plant all my herbs up there.
