New Improved House


The front of the house with:
  • Scaffolding removed, finally!
  • Driveway graded and ready for concrete
  • Everything painted and stained except for a few touchups on the fascia
  • Fuctioning lights :-)
Next to go will be the fencing, blue tarps, and the Porta Pottie!

More FInishes


Granite counters look awesome!!  Absolute Black with a silk finish.  It has a slight texture to it. Here is the island with the Steamer sink and the induction cooktop in.  Two outlet cutouts are in the backsplash.

A different view with the island in the foreground and the rest of the kitchen showing.  You can now get a good idea how big the kitchen really is!
Storage mezzanine in the garage.  It's about 3 feet wide and runs the whole length almost.  Very handy storage space.

Finally the front of the house without the scaffolding on it, it has been months!  Next to go the porta potty! :-)

Driveway Update


We brought in about 18 yards of crushed concrete fill to bring the drive up to grade.  Thx for your help Ian!  It still needs compacting but the drive is starting to take shape.  Now all we need is some dry weather to pour the concrete! :-)

FInal Colors!


Final paint and stain colors are now all on the house.  The last to go on was the stain on the old existing siding at the base/lower part of the house. We are pretty happy with how it all turned out.

Door Art plus More


Doors and frames set up in the garage for staining.  I call it construction art!
Second bath with tile, tub and toilet installed


Master bath with tub installed and tile getting finished



Pile of hardwood flooring in the drive.  Photo was taken around 4:30pm.  It was pouring rain and dark out already.  By the end of hauling these in I was soaked and pciked up a little bit of a cold ;-(

A Few Quick Photos

Here are a few quick pictures to update everyone.  It is starting to look more and more finished!
Everything you see is painted/stained and finished.  All that is left to paint is the old siding at the lower left that hopefully will get done tomorrow, weather permitting :-)


The drive is rough graded ready for the concrete guys to layout forms and prepare for the pour.

Slate tile at the entry looking back at the entry door and stair opening.  Ready for grout and cleanup
