JUNE '08
 

Jr's room only needs finishing touches (celing fan, outlet covers, closet hardware), and the 2nd bedroom is almost complete.

Some more final touches on the West wing bathroom.

2nd bedroom is drywalled.

Framing out and drywalling the stepped wall at the steps leading up into the West wing.

The entryway and coat closet are drywalled in. Above the stepped wall, you can see the only cooler vent that is meant to cool 75% of the house.

The south soffitt in the kitchen (above the windows) is finally framed out and drywalled.

Roderick Jr and I co-designed his floor. We stained and polyurethaned tiles and and strips of masonite. It feels very Japanese!

I continued Jr's floor into the hallway, but turned it diagonally . . . because I just HAVE to make things more complicated.

My attempt at providing a home for the flickers (related to woodpeckers) so they would leave MINE alone, proved only moderately successful.

FINALLY! A front door lockset. I actually have to unlock the door when we arrive to work in the morning.

The front West yard has been filled in now concealing the grade of the hill, and the space beneath the West wing.
