I Love the Smell of Sawdust in the Morning!
Busy week! All the cabinetry is installed, and so are the wood floors! The stairs are being prepped and built (landings are done, risers are in process, treads come next and then the spindles and railings). They also started the stonework on the fireplace, which is super fun. That plywood box was really beginning to bug me!
Next week they start the long process of adding the color to our domestic world. I think Super Bill said it would take 3 days to tape and sheet everything, then they stain woodwork and cabinets. Then they rip all the coverings off the walls, and cover the cabinets so they can paint the walls. Then they recover the walls, keep the woodwork covered, and do the floor. I am guessing this is a 3 week process. Waiting for the next step will be, well, like watching paint dry.
This wall cabinet is in the girl’s bathroom. I admire the clean appearance now — knowing that 2 months from now it will be overflowing with “product.”

The fireplace wall is evolving!

I love this window we found in an antique store. There is currently plywood on the opposite side for protection, so the colors look for yellow-green than they truly are.

An early stain option for the floor. I asked for it to be a bit redder.
This cabinet is on the back side of the kitchen range. It is a storage and serving piece for the outside dining room.

The garage. The weird spikes coming off the far corner ceiling are for the heater. The hole in the ceiling leads to attic storage
Sadly, this tree is doomed — the roots were just trashed during the construction of the retaining wall. From this view you can see the horrific erosion that is starting — we need to get some landscaping in soon before we have more downpours.
