Working away

Well, we've just been continuing to work away at the house. In many ways we're very close to finishing, but we also know that there are a million little details that still need to be completed. The biggest job is going to be the railing and balusters. In addition, we still have to put in the bathroom vanities, upstairs toilet, sinks, faucets, door knobs, lights, smoke alarms...

On Friday I was able to go to Home Depot to get all our final materials. So we've got pretty much everything we need to finish - we just need time to do it all. What we've accomplished recently...Well, with my mom's help we got the tile in the bathrooms all finished up and it looks great. Also my dad installed a bunch of electric outlets. We've also put about 2/3 of the interior trim up. I've been working on this a lot - I got all the windows trimmed out and am now doing baseboard. My father-in-law has been installing doors and door trim. We also finished putting in all the electric outlets and switches, so they're ready to get plates put on and be done. We're moving along and there's a lot of little jobs that Christine and I can do in the evenings. If I get a chance, I'll take some pics soon and post them.

Tile

Haven't posted in a while. But we have been working hard. I'm doing a lot of tiling - we're putting in 13x13 porcelain tiles in the mudroom and 2 bathrooms. I've completed the mudroom and now need to rent a wet saw to finish up the bathrooms. Hopefully we'll get that finished up pretty soon. Next up, start trimming out the windows (interior) and install all the electrical outlets. Fun!

Sometime soon I'll get some pics up of the tile, as well as the crown molding and counters that are all finished in the kitchen.
