Start of new year 2008....a few days later

The pics of the stairs are still a bit early as I have yet to countersink nails, fill holes and then add last coat of poly. But, Glenn, Peg and other guys from Country Plans forum have asked to see the progress and Travis, my younger son has almost begged! I'm also now working on the bathrooms and actually got some tile layed today in the guest bath and finished the last of the pre-tile work in the master bath. Even finally figured out how to build a shower stall pan and that is no small job. Pics of that when I get some tile layed.

Staircase coming together finally.

Who said I couldn't do trim work? And I don't even have a table saw, have to do all rip cuts with a circular saw, try making that look good. Finally making some progress.

These pics were taken October 28, 2007. I've just been too busy to add them to the blog.

Note the ceiling fans are now installed and I've almost completed the wiring. Have maybe a half day to complete. Hired a plumber to finish up the kitchen and run the rest of the gas line from the new buried tank and extended it so we can have a propane gas grill on the deck. With football season keeping us away from the lake and a business trip I had to make over last weekend, I needed to get some things finished. They were also supposed to hook up the whole house water filter system which will allow us to have hot water, use the washer and dryer and have drinking water that I hope I can drink! Water down at the lake is terrible and we carry water from Bedford for drinking purposes.
