I came home yesterday to find all the work we contracted out completed! The top crown molding was installed and the small side pieces of moldings on the windows by the driveway side were all installed! Now it’s up to me to get to painting so we can really call it done! We have work …

This weekend was a mish-mash of work. Saturday Ryan finished the third wall of the little bathroom (the doorway) and started the wall next to the tub, however all hour wood is now warped so he got frustrated very quickly with that. Unfortunately a trip to home depot Sunday was no good, all their wood …
Well friday was a rain day so moldings were not going up on the roof line. Instead our carpenter got the moldings up under the porch and then primed more window sashes (only 1 window not primed now!). After Alex went to bed it was not raining so I went out and primed the siding …
I’ve been a slacker this week with posting, mostly because Alex and I were both sick Monday, Tuesday she was better but still home (no daycare until 24 hours fever free) and then I was busy with work because I had missed a day and a half. Anyhow… Our carpenter has been moving along on …

First they got the attic window panels painted, final coat, and then the molding above the windows …

Monday and Tuesday this week have just been our main contractor and one helper since the other one was on vacation. They have a routine down, one up on the tower installing the panel outlines while the other is cutting the MDO into the right size panels and pre-priming them so they can just be …
We were away on friday but our contractor and one helper came over for the day. They got the molding up on the tower soffit and finished up the painting so above the attic windows is now completely done. The staging was lowered down to the attic windows so today they can trim those out …
