We went out to work on the house this weekend but had a holiday party to attend Saturday night so it was a short day of progress.  Still progress none-the-less.

Ryan started with installing the door for the back bedroom.  We’re using new doors for the 3 doors across the back hallway and the installation of a new door is so much easier than an old one 🙂

I got the smoke detector in the back bedroom installed.  I need to order more smoke detectors and get them all wired up but it was nice to check one off the list 😉

Ryan worked on trim in the upstairs hallway, plinth blocks, the sides pieces (need rosettes stripped to finish), and getting the wood installed around the arch so it could get trim too.  This moves along pretty nicely, faster if we had rosettes done!

Hallway closet trim started

Hard to get a picture of the arch but here’s one side (both sides are done).

Our neighbor got the first coat of tape/spackle on the back stairway last weekend, this weekend he finished sheetrocking the bottom area of the stairway.  I got the 3-way switch/light wired/hooked up so the stairs have proper lighting now!

We have a lot left to do but a little here and there was good to get done.  I think it’s fun working on the back room because it has less trim to do so it’s so much closer to finished 🙂  Looking forward to next weekend!
