Hardwood

Good evening! Sorry for the lack of updates. Between work and nights at the house I am really busy. Here's some photos.

Framing around the wood stove. When finished it will sit on slate . I burn that stove every night I'm up there and it does a great job heating the house!

I rented that yellow nail gun from home depot, sure glad I did as it made the job much easier.

A shot of the crown moulding in the Kitchen.

650 square feet of number 2 common 3" & 4" white oak.

Dad running the spray gun for the primer.

A shot of the base trim in the upstairs bedroom.

I would love to hear what everyone thinks! Leave a comment or question below!

tile time

I cut the same part 5 times. It broke on me 5 times.

Finally got it

word

Here is walk through number 2. I did one a while back when i first got the house http://leecumberland.blogspot.com/2010/02/day-1.html.

odds and ends

the house with shutters

the chimney kit I'm going to install...

These are the colors for the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. The island will be white with a dark glaze (left) and everything else will be a almost black (right). Ordered them today!

the drywall people are hanging today and tomorrow. Ill do a video walk through once it is finished.

like the romans do

concrete

Big thanks to Arthur, Chuck, and Chuck for coming out and helping me Saturday morning!

All raked, ready for seed and straw.

the concrete is coming THE CONCRETE IS COMING.

I figure I'll do a little blogging since that's what this is. Things at the house are progressing. The old saying things take twice as long and cost 4 times as much (or something like that) is very true. These pictures were taken tonight. (9-16-10) The concrete truck is coming this Saturday at 7:30am.We'll be pouring the front walk, porch and basement. I'll be raking the yard Saturday evening and Sunday morning if anyone wants a workout...

I put the rebar in the form for the walk and set it up using some bricks broken in half. This will prevent the walk from cracking when it freezes.

Two more loads of crushed stone in the driveway, this stone seems to pack really tight when driven on.

More rebar on the porch to tie the two halves together. Hopefully it won't split in the middle.

The man with the plan.

I might as well get a flickr account

Filling in all the random holes in the foundation

BOOM

Leeway

Well extended up with pitless adapter added

siding finished

I put the final pieces of siding and soffit on today.

This porch is huge and took forever. 32ft longggg.

Looks like a house i guess.

The HVAC guys started wednesday. Its amazing to walk in and see stuff done that i didnt do...its like magic.

The plumbing material should come tomorrow. We will be laying the front porch block this weekend.
