Progress on the House; Part Two

I suddenly realized I am woefully behind on updating you about the progress on the house. You are welcomed by the front yard antelope that greeted me one day last week.

Antelope in the Front Yard

We are making progress on several fronts. First of all we have completed all of the wallboard, completed mud work and wallboard finishing, texturing and painting. For those of keeping score the exact shade of white is “Platinum”, a very light grey.

Moving on to flooring, we started back in the Master Bedroom.

MBR Flooring

The flooring is mostly light shades of greyish wood. It is Luxury Vinyl Plank with interlocking pieces.

Master Bath

Continuing to the Master Bath, we can also see the greyish shaker-style vanity.

The flooring runs from the Master Bedroom down the hallway and into the Living Room/Kitchen area.

Setting Kitchen Cabinets

In addition to the flooring, we have started putting up the kitchen cabinets starting with the corner pieces. The general theme for the kitchen cabinets (as well as bathroom cabinets) is a simple grey Shaker style. In other news this week, we have installed the garage door.

Garage door and side door into Garage.

Since my last update we have also installed the side door into the garage. The siding installation has encountered a minor problem in that they ran short of “J-channel” pieces. They should get it finished up next week or so. Also note the patio off to the right

Starting to set poles for the Solar Power Panels.

Also, during a brief rain shower this afternoon the cement truck arrived to put in the poles to support the solar panels.

Mostly Done, about 5 hours later.

You can see 7 of the 8 poles standing proudly erect. We ran a little short while emptying out the cement truck (we ordered 2 cubic yards of cement. Over the next week we will rent a mixer and buy some bags of cement and fill that last hole.
