More hardwood flooring

It is taking a lot longer to install used hardwood flooring, but we are making progress.  The living room/kitchen and hallway are done.





The master bedroom is installed and we started on the office.

Hardwood flooring!!

We are finally installing hardwood floors!  It is reclaimed (used) 3/4" thick oak.  It will be sanded and then stained a medium to dark stain.




We have had a few weeks of smoky skies.  Today, however it rained and our clear blue skies are back!

Walls and trim are painted!

All of the walls and door trim upstairs are painted including inside the closets!  The master was painted 3 times.  I decided I didn't want the same color in that room as the rest of the house.  Jacob didn't get that memo and he painted it.  I repainted the master bed and bath grey and then decided it was the wrong color.  I then painted both the rooms light blue, probably not the right color, but I am done!





 

 
Decking is being installed on the east side of the house!
 



The interior doors have been patched and will be sanded and painted next week.

Painting!!

This week we finally got the drywall patched and ready for paint.  The living room/dining room/kitchen and hallway have been painted.  Starting on hardwood flooring on Monday. 



We bought our first piece of landscaping:  A lemon tree!

 
We moved our picnic table to the front patio.  Now we have a "dining room!"

Working on the Deck!

It is taking a lot longer and costing a lot more, but the new deck will be worth it.





The deck started with 2 feet deep footings filled with concrete, then rebar with epoxy to connect the piers to the concrete in the footings.  Then the 6X6 posts were attached.




Then the deck joists were attached to the frame.  And then the decking is being installed.  Beautiful Redwood!
