| All the railings are installed, we're almost finished sanding and staining them. They turned out well. |
 |
| Tile started in the front hallway. |
 |
| David giving a tour of the mechanical room. We regularly give tours of the progress; these dear guests are visiting from Virginia and Alaska! |
 |
| Tile finished in the entryway. |
 |
| We have finished painting all the trim boards that go outside around the windows. |
 |
The garage lighting is installed, so I can paint and stain past dark!
|
 |
| The Cousins came to watch the rough grading. (They also brought their dad to help!) |
 |
| Just one day with the excavator left us with a fairly flat front yard... |
 |
| ...Retaining walls on the driveway side... |
 |
| ...and a flat spot to set the LP tank. |
 |
|
The siding is almost complete now. Just a little around the garage left. |
 |
| Mommy sanding floors. We rented sanders over and over, and sanded for hours and hours and hours. |
 |
| David applied 4 coats of polyurethane. We're sure that's not quite enough to protect them from all the rough-housing to come, but the project had to move along... |
 |
| The Bathroom became HQ for a few weeks while we finished floors--it was the Kitchen/ Playroom/ Nap-room! |
 |
| We spent all day on our anniversary grading this yard and sanding floors...! Starting to look like a house when you come up the driveway now. |
 |
| I've picked this spot for a garden next year : ) The driveway is on the left, and the house on the right. |
 |
| The front yard finally got some attention. We'll have to take out a few trees next Spring, and rent the Skidsteer again to level more of the yard. We don't really have level spots on our hillside, but are determined to make some room for swingsets and volleyball. |
 |
A happy anniversary
(Ready to quit and take the kiddos to Culver's for dinner!) |
 |
| David built the cabinet bases and screwed them into place. |
 |
| Here's the bathroom with the cabinet installed (and a playpen and dollhouse!) |
 |
| Our good friends are back to help install the radiators on the first floor. There are 1-2 in each room, and they sure look sharp. |
In progress right now:
Radiator Installation
Staining Stair Boards/ Doors/ Trim
Installing Tile in the Kitchen
Finishing the last bit of Siding on the Garage
Things are moving along beautifully; we are loving seeing so many things finished!
