Back to Construction, Phase I


We now have drywall on the new inside walls, and they have all been taped and textured.  I had to clean out the new pantry today (we had left stuff in there and they built around it) so they can paint and put the flooring in.  This is after I’d taken most of the food storage off the shelves.

It’s empty now—we’re building shelves so those chrome units will need to go elsewhere… they’re currently on the back porch.

Also today, the workers put stucco on the exterior walls.

The front of the new roof is now tiled.  That was tricky… they had to do it over a couple of times because the new tile we bought is slightly wider than the existing, so it didn’t match up with what we had.  Fortunately our builder is a genius and managed to get it to work, and it looks awesome.

They took the doors off our office to use them for the new bedroom and its closet.  At the moment this messy room is also storing pantry stuff.  Eventually that wall and the adjoining wall to the right will be knocked out, opening it up as our new dining room (Phase 2)!

This is our current dining “room”… it’s just a corner of the kitchen.  We will be putting cabinets and a computer center there (for the kids’ computer and household office stuff).
