Just noticed, it was exactly 46 years ago today that I left home to join the Navy! I am so old!
Oh well, not anything I can do about that but, I can show you the latest pictures of the house.
Weekend before last, Troy and Travis helped me all weekend begin laying the floor. To say it was great having them and their families with me is very much an understatement!
As usual, it took a lot longer than expected but, it looks great, even if I do have to say so myself. Last weekend, Troy and family came back down and we all worked all weekend. We still are not finished but, we finished the livingroom/kitchen, pantry and utility room floors. Next I'll tackle the bedroom and closets. The loft will get carpet.
Kitchen cabinets arrived yesterday and I hope to start installing them soon. The appliances are scheduled to arrive this Saturday.....only 4 weeks late! But, I got a deal so can't complain too much.
My schedule of being finished by Labor Day was wishful thinking. I'll be lucky to finish by Thanksgiving. Course, it doesn't really matter if it takes another year except, I'm about worn out.
Dana selected the tile for the bathrooms and I have decided to try to find a tile man to do the install. We are on the downhill side now but, the details are going to be very slow coming.
I decided to install a whold house water treatment system. Not a water softener. Basically a carbon filter type system. We'll see how that works soon. Hope to get the hot water heater and filtration system hooked up within the next couple of weeks giving us hot and cold water. YEAH
Here are the pics and for those that are interested I took some more detailede shots of the stairway. I don't believe it is code approved with the radius turn in the center but, for our use, it should be just fine. I plan to use the same cable system as on the outside deck for a railing. Still working on a design for the newell posts. Already have the bullnose for the treads.
