Room with a view

We knocked out the bedroom windows. The window facing the neighbors house was blocked permenantly and this window was installed. It looks great and will be much nicer when the shed outside is moved.

2/25 – 3/2

This weeks goals….finish wiring the back area. Put up sheetrock and start finishing the walls everywhere besides the bathrooms. …..the back area was wired and dana and I put up what sheetrock we had… about nine 12′ sheets.

Dana put up all the light boxes, fan and chandelier braces. 2/29/08

Kithen Footer

I dug the footer two weeks ago, that was fun, especially since there is only 3 feet to work with in the crawl space. Then the next day got ten bags of cement to fill it in. Turns out it took 21! bags, that was even more fun. But its done and ready.

2/18 – 2/24

Not a crazy productive week. Purchased a lot of supplies (trim, plaster, electrical), I did a ton of research on plaster to fix the old walls and actually did one wall suprisingly well. Jimmy and his brother came out Saturday and got our kitchen raised and new support onto the new poured footings. Also, finished framing the master bathroom ceiling and framed out the window. We’ve got to pick out a window and put it in this week. Pictures and more updates coming later today…
